1950 RALEIGH CYCLEMASTER

Estimated Price: £0 - £0

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
