Latest Raleigh find. All original and runs well. A Rare beast.
That's a nice sign to see. My brother bought the bike from Rufforth Autojumble last week. Owner was from Stockton on Tees. It runs really well. 50cc 2 stroke engine. No clutch, so you come to a T Junction and stall it, when road clear pedal like mad and away you go!!!
Didn't they have a centrifugal clutch ? The more revs the more grip, so on tickover it should free .
I can remember my dad having one back in the early 60's. The one he had had a centrifugal clutch.
I think it was a different model to this one. It was called a Raleigh Runabout.
Later on i used to ride it around for a bit of fun.
