1919 evans power-cycle 119cc |
 |
The 119cc evans power-cycle was manufactured by the cyclemotor corporation between 1919 and 1924, both as a complete machine and as a separate cycle-attachment engine. various evans motorcycles were exported to europe. after cyclemotor ceased production around 1924, manufacture passed to stock-motorpflug a.g in berlin, who made them until 1933 under license and sold them under the name ‘stock.’ tax records from berlin show stock was only in business from 1924 - 1933. later models had a 3hp engine with shaft drive. the evans was marketed in great britain too. by the mid-twenties, however, motorcycle design had improved and prices had been greatly reduced for lightweight motorcycles; even small cars were now sold for under £100. as their production costs were high, cyclemotor manufacturers could not compete, and the era of cyclemotors and cycle-attachments came to an end (just as it did in 1955 with the introduction of the first mopeds). image kindly provided by www.buyvintage.co.uk. |
