Thank you Gthomson and T-Mar for your helpful feedback. I am going to try to contact the original dealer (apparently Soloped) who sold it to see if they have any other information that I can share.

One thing I did notice is that the bike I have matches many of the frame details of a 1984 model 5000 made with Champion #1 that is shown on Mr. Gillies page.

Also, I will continue to work on uploading some images of the bike to the forum, hopefully soon.

In the meantime, I am going to take her for a ride today while the weather still allows it.

Best regards,
