Amazing Photos Of Raleigh Safety Seven, A Largely Forgotten Product Of The 1930S British Motoring !

The famous bicycle manufacturer Raleigh was founded in Nottingham in 1887 by Frank Bowden. In 1899 they made their first motorcycle, basically a bicycle with a 2hp Geman Schwan engine mounted to the frame and driving the rear wheel by a belt. In 1903 they created their first tricar called the Raleighette. This had a 3.5hp water cooled engine and a chain drive with a large wicker chair over the front wheels to allow room for a passenger. This was never a great sales success and by 1908 they had reverted back to bicycles only. In response to the economic climate of the late 1920s Raleigh again turned their hand to manufacturing three-wheelers, which enjoyed considerable tax and licensing advantages. The first of these was the Karryall parcel van of 1929, more or less a 500cc motorcycle that was enclosed into a 5cwt van body with the addition of a third wheel. The front wheel of the van was exposed giving away its motorcycle origins, and steering was via handlebars inside the van. In 1931 the engine was uprated to 600cc and in 1933 a two passenger version was also available. 0:00 - Intro ❤️Music❤️ DreamHeaven -    / @dreamheaven   ❤️Subscribe❤️ ?sub_confirmation=1 ❤️About Us❤️ Old Times Photos Revives past stories that need to be shared with You.
