c.1923 Sheppee Cykelaid 131cc

Priced at £4,500. Very rare Cycle motor by the The Sheppee Motor and Engineering Co Ltd of York. The following is an exert from Grace's Guide: "The firm offered a package of wheel, engine unit and front fork or the choice of complete ladies' or gents' machines. The complete Cykelaid could be purchased for £50. The specification included an Eadie coaster brake, rear hand-operated brake, number plate, rear stand and Brooks saddle. The wheels were 28″×1.75″, shod with Dunlop Roadster tyres. Alternatively, the complete front fork assembly was available for £32, as a conversion of an existing bicycle."

 In 1922 the machine was modified with 26"x2 1/2" wheels, a larger displacement engine and girder forks amongst other details. This bike has been in dry storage for the last 20 years, a great opportunity to own an exciting piece of history!
