The text of the third edition of The Stinkwheel Saga, Episode 1, first published in 2004, has been amended and expanded to include new material and images not available to us for the first edition. This reprinted book now contains newly-discovered period colour images plus many others originally published in black & white only in the first edition. A complete redesign of page layouts has also improved presentation of photos and drawings. The Stinkwheel Saga Episode 1 v3 is an in-depth look at the nine most popular clip-on cyclemotors sold in quantity in Britain during the period 1945-1959 and was chosen as one of Classic Bike magazine’s ‘Best Books of 2004.’
The Stinkwheel Saga books remain the only comprehensive reference works published on the subject of the clip-on cyclemotor engines which were so popular for a brief period in the aftermath of the Second World War.
The Stinkwheel Saga Episode 2, covering less well-known makes of cyclemotors and individual efforts, is not currently available in print.
