Wrong sub forum then. PS they weren't great bikes, and google is your answer as said already.

You're asking in the electric bikes forum, you'd be better off posting in the Cafe or General Cycling Discussions.

Back in the day they were as good as any other mass produced bike .
As long as the rider enjoyed it that's all that matters.
Eventually they were swallowed up by Raleigh .
Many famous cyclists in the 50's used Hercules

Note that the mods have moved it now - to the Viintage & Classic Bikes subforum, so no need for you to re-create the thread elsewhere if you were thinking of doing so after the above comments.

I can't remember now long time ago
One of the most famous names was Eileen Sheridan. Still alive at 98yrs young.
Sponsored by Hercules to break RRA Records in the early 50's.

But if you read down the article, it says that her frame was provided by another supplier as the Hercules frames were too heavy.
My first two wheeler was a Hercules! Was only 6 at the time and really liked it.
