Years ago many a young lad had a Trojan in his back pocket, some had 2 if they were feeling lucky, Knobster had a box full. He always lived in hope! Nowadays Trojan ownership can give us hope, or despair (sounds like being a teenager all over again eh?). That pesky little engine unit can definitely be fun as long as it runs, and reliably.
So with the current price of petrol sky rocketing due to the ongoing American/Iran conflict we thought that we would throw in yet another great little handbook for a bicycle motor attachment should you have one sitting on a shelf and would like to know how to breath life into this little devil.
Advertised by Trojan the Mini Motor was a Gearless Cycle Outboard power unit that fitted in place of the rear carrier and used a friction drive to the rear tyre. It is 49cc and capable of cruising at 20mph, with LPA (leg power assist) on hills. It is quite informed at 21 pages and covers initial fitting to the pushbike, basic maintenance and some fault finding. There are 6 pages of illustrated parts that make up the Mini Motor attachment.
Click on the cover below to read the gospel word of another super dooper (isn’t that an age old saying) little engine.
It is a 3.5M PDF.
