From England, In 1963 Dr. Alex Moulton set out to do two things. Design the widely accepted British Mini-Cooper, which is now being re-produced by BMW and design the most energy efficient, luggage compatible, trip ready, comfortable, fastest out of the gate, multi-transmission, calorie per mile bicycle. Distributed in this country by Huffy Corporation. This model has a 4-speed Sturmy Archer Transmission to the rear hub, fully suspended with 1 1/2 inches of travel in the front, a pivotal point on back chain stay with 3/4 inch travel, a 16 inch tire holding 95 PSI, which was so energy efficient, in 1965 the National Association of Bicycle Racing outlawed them. The Step though design makes this bicycle extremely user friendly. A warning came with this bicycle, "The Kevvlar belt is so quiet, animals and children won't hear you coming and may step out in front of you."
