The Raleigh Wisp was produced from 1967 to 1969 as a ‘shopper bike’ It was designed for short commutes and its 49.9cc engine featured a fully automatic transmission. With 12-inch wheels and a rigid frame and forks, it was marketed with a focus on ‘fun’, and during advertising campaigns featuring Twiggy enjoyed a brief moment of high popularity, momentarily becoming a 1960s fashion icon. However it was short lived and disappointing sales drew production to an abrupt halt in 1969 when Raleigh ceased moped manufacture. We understand this original example was running up until around two years ago when the sad passing of its owner meant it was put away in a garage until now. Offered for sale with no reserve.
