1935 Servicycle
« on: March 12, 2020, 08:34:32 AM »
This was a priviledge for me to see!    1935  #20  This was Norm Burtons.  Lloyd Andrews was very accommodating and allowed me to look at any and everything I wanted.

Interestingly neat bike .

I'm wondering exactly how that carburetor system works .
And , the front wheel has a double brake activation ?

Thanks Tom, it was great to see what the early ones looked like. Big difference between that and an automatic.

This is the one at the Smithsonian.  Has different headlight then number 20.  Zoomed in on headlight switch.  Missing on number 20.  Different hub on rear.  No brake on front.

Is that a coaster brake type on the rear ?

Ha , I like the red grips .

I didn't know Simplex made motor scooters until 1972 . Can't say I seen any after the 50s .

Maybe misinformation ?
This from the site Tom linked to :
"Simplex ended motorbike production in 1960 but made motor scooters until 1972, when the company went out of business."
