British Mopeds of the 1960s

1. 1960 Hercules Corvette moped

Though Hercules was among the oldest and largest of British cycle companies, it only occasionally dabbled in small capacity motorised transport. From 1912, the first machines used Precision and Sarolea single cylinder side-valve engines, up to 1914 when a 211cc belt driven two-stroke was offered. WW1 presumably interrupted motorised manufacture, which was not resumed until late 1955 when the Grey Wolf moped was launched at the Earls Court Show.
