1939 Simplex Servi-Cycle

Published:
2.2K Views

Description

The Swigart museum had this little motorcycle stuffed into a corner.

The Servi-Cycle was in production from 1935 to 1960 with few changes over its lifespan.

NO clutch, you had to shut down the motor when stopping, then push start the cycle to restart when pulling out.

Single cylinder 2-stroke, 2 HP engine.

Coaster brake.

Very popular with delivery and telegram services and also air dropped to US Ground Forces in WW2.

It stands in serious contrast to a modern Motorcycle, doesn't it? :)
