Nope, that's when the batteries were charged. This is an early example of the ebike before it fell out of favour

Armstrong or New Hudson?
Or a James Clubman Tandem?
How many guesses can I have?
Is there a prize?

No, nope, nada...
As many as you like...
Just the kudos of being obviously brilliant! In fairness, I watch sales of vintage bikes a lot and I'd never seen one of these come up before... and can only find one other detailed online so far (not that's it's a rare marque)!

Actually, that looks pretty similar, but not that make and model!

Drumroll please...
It's a Dawes 'Club' Model 32, according to the receipt, but may be a Model 32A as it has a 3 speed SA, although this may have been added later?
The 89 year old owner was amazed that I said I intend to ride it!
Comes with it's original receipt too...
I'm super pleased with it - will turn the bars the right way round, sort out the tyres (the front is a Dunlop Sport, so could even be original!) and tubes and ride off into the sunset!
