DESCRIPTION
The first Hamlet motorcycles were produced in Denmark in 1904 using a strengthened bicycle frame as a base and a Fafnir, Moto Reve or a Motosacoche motor was fitted. Only a few of these machines were ever built and after a takeover, the factory began producing mopeds and small three-wheeled goods vehicles. In 1939, a light motorcycle was unveiled and this was a proper motorcycle fitted with a Fichtel & Sachs 98cc. motor and a two-speed gearbox. Production of this model stopped in 1943 due to difficulties in finding a replacement for the German Fichtel & Sachs motor during wartime.
We have no other information on this pioneering form of transport other than the fact that it's 97 years old, it's accompanied by some very old paperwork which we can't read, it appears in excellent overall condition and its vendor claims it is the 'only one in the world'.
If you have a Motorcycle Museum and you haven't got one of these (which you won't have), now is your opportunity.
