Raliegh produced mopeds from 1958-71 the first with an engine design by Vincento Piatti - the designer of Mini-Motor. In 1960 the company became part of the huge Tube Investments conglomerate, along with fellow moped manufacturers, Norman, Phillips and Hercules and rationalisation was sought. After an unsucessful prototype it was decided to licence the French Mobylette range of moped and future machines were effectively re-badged Mobylettes.
The Raliegh RM6 was introduced in May 1963, sharing the same frame and engine as the Mobylette and built under licence from Motobécane in France. It featured variable speed automatic clutch, leading-link forks, swinging arm, drum brakes, dual seat. and was initially available in Pearl Grey and Charcoal Grey. In June 1965 telescopic forks were fitted and the model became available in Fire Red as well as the Pearl Grey, the Charcoal Grey now deleted. In September 1965 legshields previously an option came as standard and in December 1965 Neptune Blue was added to the range. From here it remained basically unaltered until discontinued in February 1971

In total contrast to yesterday's Cadillac upload. This was one of the cheapest and simplest mopeds you could buy. Notice there's no suspension, no speedometer, and the front brakes are bicycle style calipers.
This must have been off the road at least 40 years as it doesn't appear on DVLA records. Wonderful patina!
I came across this and the Honda in a small bike repair place; just like car garages, such businesses are getting rarer as machines become more complicated and more difficult to fix without complex and expensive equipment.
Is this a Velocette? I tend to group all these motorised bikes under that term if they're in France!

Version noir et blanc:
A friend and I tried to make a twin engined version of this. One engine on the front wheel and one on the rear wheel. Have you ever tried to synchronize two Moby engines? Some interesting behaviour - either the front wheel was turning too slow and the rear pushing it around -or sudden "death" of one engine. We put the rear engine back on the bike we took it from - much safer!
