SUMMARY
A tidy example of the 26cc, Raleigh-framed Cyclemaster complete with bespoke luggage rack and floor stand. UK-registered as ESJ 510, although the paperwork has been lost so a V5 will need applying for.
DESCRIPTION
- Using what was basically a DKW-designed wheel-mounted engine, Cyclemaster (a literal translation from the German 'RadMeister') was a UK company owned by EMI who set about building compact engines to power pedal-cycles during the 1950s.
- It made its first public appearance at the Utrecht Industries Fair in April 1950. The earliest engines were 25.7cc, being extended to 32cc in 1951. (The 26cc models are distinguished by their black colour, the 32cc models being silver)
- Despite requiring a number of newly acquired skills to ride (and stop), they were very popular in period and EMI even published a monthly title called ‘The Magic Wheel’, copies of which can be read online on the Cyclemaster Museum website.
- This tidy example bears the registration ESJ 510, though the paperwork has been lost by the vendor, so a V5 will need applying for
- Complete with bespoke luggage rack and floor stand
- Offered with no reserve.
