One of the most unusual motorcycles of the 2 th World War

Welbike - an unusual motorcycle of the Second World War, was in service with the British intelligence and sabotage service. He weighed only 32 kilograms.

A one-speed bike could reach speeds of up to fifty kilometers per hour. Without refueling could drive up to 145 kilometers.

After the war, the military destroyed almost all of the remaining motorcycles, as they were considered unsafe for use on public roads in the UK, because they were equipped only with rear brakes and there were no headlights.

After the war, the manufacturer Excelsior continued to manufacture such scooters, and one of the first popular British scooters of the 1950 era was Excelsior Corgi, made on the basis of Welbike solutions.

I'm bastard.
And, conveniently, he descended behind the parachute in the rear and mounted Welbike and with greetings, look for the wind in the field.

Rather, it’s a moped, and with small wheels on the road you will not pass much

In the pine forests - no limits! Generally everywhere where there is no mud lake. So for that, planning to figure out a route ...

So they are not only transporting their soldiers, they have half the country moving on the roof of cars!

It’s also stuffy in the cars, you won’t sit.

Carrying 32 kg over obstacles is not very convenient.
In the Soviet Army, I preferred the Desna folding bicycle, appreciating it for its lightness, reliability and noiselessness. The device could carry up to three P-105s and had an unlimited range. In the stowed position, it was attached to the T-72 tower.

50 km per hour is not very bad for such a toy

[solomon]

The thing is interesting. And containers for landing provided.

It seems that by combining the two moped data, a new transport appeared - buggy

The Italians after the war made their Vespa just on the basis of this chassis.

For summer residents and peasants - an ideal! For scooters in Belarus - apply for a license, helmet, etc. Yes, and they cost a minimum of a piece. And this is what you need!

[Snoop]

Thank you, informative :) I would like this) I wouldn’t refuse a vespa with 20mm either)

[bubble82009]

interesting thing. as if it’s not enough, it shone in the frames of the World Chronicle 2

[Clueless]

Army men from the USA rarely use bicycles or four-wheel drive bikes like Rokon for reconnaissance (by the way, he can swim, or rather he keeps afloat on his side)

[slaventi]

Also a good option.

[avdkrd]

yeah, a good option)))) wherever you are in the Bryansk forests, or Karelia))))

of course, with a delay, but still ... Paris, the Museum of the Disabled

To solve the problem of India, you need to run 3-story wagons. Well, more often.
