Phelon & Rayner 1.75 hp (1903)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
1903 was the last year of production of the Phelon and Rayner (P&R) 1.75 hp. As in 1902, it had a 1.75 h.p., 260cc. engine with 66 x 76 mm bore and stroke fitted in a standard bicycle type 28" frame (although 26" and 23" became options, presumably due to experience showing 28" was too tall for a motorised bicycle). It was fitted with a surface carburettor, single speed friction disc transmission, a 9 pint combined oil and fuel tank, bicycle pattern front forks and 28" x 2" wheels (although smaller wheels were fitted to the smaller frame). The colour scheme was black frame and mudguards with an aluminium enameled fuel tank with coach lining[1]. Photographic evidence shows it was used to pull a trailer chair.
