Raleigh, more famous for manufacturing bicycles, introduced their first moped in the 1950s with an engine designed by Vincento Piatti—the designer of Mini-Motor. The company became part of the Tube Investments and brought the Raleigh, Norman, Phillips and Hercules brands of moped under the same ownership. The obvious course of action was to rationalise these four ranges into one common series and it was decided to license the Mobylette range of mopeds produced by Motobécane in France. A stopgap based on the Sachs-engined Nippy already being produced by Norman was sold in Ireland until the Mobylette-based models were in production. From then on, Raleigh, Phillips and Norman mopeds were effectively re-badged Mobylettes, while Raleigh first applied the 'Runabout' name to the RM6, which was built in various versions from May 1963 until February 1971 when production ceased.

An original and unmolested machine in need of refurbishment / recommissioning, WKL 14J is offered with a Swansea V5C, RF 60 green logbook, parts book and associated paperwork. An excellent opportunity to acquire an attractive example of the popular ‘60s’ go to work moped from one of the UK’s leading cycle manufactures of the time. Offered at no reserve.
