Geoff.C 0 Posted March 22, 2008 Report Share Posted March 22, 2008 There are getting more electric motor assisted cycles about now, but I don't think there is much petrol stuff. I can't remember the name but I think there is one which drives the rear wheel by roller pressure on the tyre. There used to be the 1970's Raleigh "Wisp",which was a small wheeled bike with engine. Probably the one which was most common,was the "cyclemaster",an engine mounted in a reinforced wheel,which you fitted in place of the normal wheel. A throttle lever was mounted on the 'bars. As kids we used to call them "stinkwheels", a bunch of us got a bollocking off a policeman for belting up and down the street on one. He said,your untaxed,uninsured,underage for a license and you'll be under a truck next. Put it away,and don't let me catch you again! No more was done about it,and he never caught us again!! (This was in the 60's) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
