The registration number, which was then a compulsory requirement for anything that was powered, dates from September to November 1952, and was issued by Hertfordshire County Council. Another model of "fizzwheel" was the BSA Winged Wheel, and there was also Cyclaid which fitted above the wheel like a Velosolex. http://www.flickr.com/photos/homer----simpson/4884430249/ -- Last edit: 2012-06-07 11:00:20
