An auxiliary 'clip-on' engine designed for attachment to a bicycle, the Labinal Micromoteur was manufactured in France during the 1920s and may be thought of as the ancestor of the post-war VéloSoleX. Produced with capacities up to 50cc, the Labinal engine was mounted in front of the bicycle's steering head and drove the front wheel via a roller. The example offered here is attached to a Griffon gentleman's bicycle believed to date from circa 1919. The machine was purchased from France by the present owner approximately 10 years ago and has been restored throughout. It was test-ridden post-restoration around 8-9 years ago but has not been used since. Noteworthy features include a Salmson magneto; Cozette carburettor; and an out-of-period Sturmey Archer three-speed coaster hub. There are no documents with this Lot.
