Ideal for beginners to the fascinating world of ancestors and veterans.
Ideal for beginners to the fascinating world of ancestors and veterans.
- A motorbike manufacturer since 1904, Alcyon launched its first "Light Motorcycle" in 1906.
- It was a 250 with a Zedel engine rated at 2 HP, weighing just 35 kg with battery/coil ignition and costing just 725 francs.
- The Zedel engine of the 1909 model 2 HP Légère abandoned the automatic intake, which was still almost universal, in favour of side valves, and was fitted, without option, with a high-voltage Bosch magneto.
- This modern approach enabled the small 250 cm3 engine to generate power that would have been unthinkable with the automatic intake.
- It was a huge success and Alcyon based its production on this model, which, with a new tank and fork, continued its career brilliantly until 1914.
- The model on offer needs to be completed and restored. It will enable a young enthusiast, for example, to get started in the fascinating world of ancestors and veterans.
