Hercules Tricycle at Last!

This afternoon I took some pictures of my Hercules tricycle with my ancient Kodak digital camera. Please forgive the poor quality my camera is seriously old. The weather here is wet and frightful at the moment which is why I had to take the pictures in my garage.

The rear wheel with the big hub is a 250watt 24 volt electric hub motor. The other wheel has a Sachs 'Duomatic' hub with coaster brake. The stub handlebar underneath the left hand handlebar mounts the speed control twistgrip and the original roller brake hand lever on the LHS operates a motor cutout micro switch as does the alloy hand lever mounted by the speed control. Rear wheels are 26inch, front wheel is 28inch. Saddle is a Brooks 'Supreme'.
