Description

1936 Moller Auto Cycle with Sidecar.

The Mochet Velocar, introduced in 1932, created interest in the idea of semi-recumbent bicycles, and Danish engineer Holger Moller patented his variation, the ‘Moller Auto-cycle’, in 1935. It has a more upright position than the Velocar.

The Moller Auto-Cycle was sold in Germany and, in Britain, Triumph built one too, under license. Like other ‘novelty’ bicycles of the era, the Triumph Moller does not appear to have been a fast-selling model. Nevertheless, judging from the number of survivors it would appear that for a short period the Triumph Moller did enjoy a reasonable production run.
