The Vincenti Piatti-designed 'Mini-Motore' was one of the most successful clip-on cyclemotors that helped get the masses back on two wheels in the aftermath of WW2. The engine unit was manufactured in the UK as the 'Mini-Motor' by Trojan Ltd of Croydon, South London, progressing through Mks I to V between 1949 and 1955. It was designed to be mounted above the bicycle's rear wheel, which was driven by a friction roller on the end of the crankshaft, while the fuel tank sat above the engine. As was the norm for two-strokes of the era, the Mini-Motor relied on petroil lubrication. A top speed of around 30mph was achievable.
This example is attached to a gentleman's bicycle. The machine has been repainted but its mechanical condition is not known. Following a period of inactivity the machine will require recommissioning before further use and thus is sold strictly as viewed. Offered without documents. Key not required.
