1977 Allwyn Pushpak

1977 Allwyn Pushpak

Established in 1974, Andhra Pradesh Scooters (APSL) a public sector undertaking owned by the government of Andhra Pradesh, manufactured scooters and marketed them under Allwyn Pushpak , with technical know how from Scooters India, another public sector undertaking.
These models failed in the market and the company ran into trouble and losses mounted. Later on, the company entered into a technical collaboration with Piaggio, Italy, to manufacture Vespa -- 100cc, 80cc and mopeds.

These models also failed to capture the market. The company was operating at a capacity below the optimum level and its financial performance was seriously impaired. It became a sick unit. Several steps taken to revive the company failed miserably. Measures were taken by the government to privatise the company. It was put on sale by the BIFR, but the response was lukewarm. BIFR has concluded that the factory cannot he rehabilitated and there is no other alternative than to wind-up the company.

1951 Raliegh Popular Tourist Cycle

1951 Raliegh Popular Tourist Cycle

Raleigh's history started in 1887, in Raleigh Street, Nottingham. Frank Bowden, a prosperous 38-year-old, bought a bicycle made by Messrs. Woodhead, Angois and Ellis, because his doctor had told him to ride a bicycle for his health. Bowden was impressed by his bicycle and went to Raleigh Street to find the makers. Woodhead, Angois and Ellis were making three bikes a week. Bowden made them an offer and bought the business. Production rose and three years later he needed a bigger workshop, which he found in a four-storey building in Russell Street. He changed the company's name to Raleigh Cycles to commemorate the original address.

After World War II, Raleigh became known for its lightweight sports roadster bicycles, often using Sturmey-Archer three and five-speed transmissions. These cycles were considerably lighter and quicker than either the old heavy English utility roadster or the American "balloon-tire" cruiser bikes. In 1946, Raleigh and other English bicycle manufacturers accounted for 95% of the bicycles imported into the United States.
While bicycle production had steadily risen through the mid-1950s, the British market began to decline with the increasing affordability and popularity of the automobile.
In 1957 Raleigh bought the BSA Cycles Ltd.

Some info on Sccoters India Limited (SIL)

In 1972, Scooters India Ltd. (SIL) a state-run enterprise based in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, bought the entire Lambretta manufacturing and trademark rights. Former Innocenti employees were used to set up an Indian factory as all the manuals and machinery instructions were in Italian. The first scooter built was the Vijay Delux/DL, which was badged the Lambretta GP150 in export markets. This was later enhanced to become the Vijay Super. Further improvements were made in the final years of production by incorporating a contemporary Japanese CDI unit and an advanced front suspension.

Around 1976, various public sector undertakings obtained licenses from SIL for the manufacture of Vijai scooters and started production under different names such as:

Allwyn Pushpak - made by Andhra Pradesh Scooters Ltd. (State of Andra Pradesh)
Aravali - made by Aravali Swachalit Vahan Ltd. (State of Rajasthan)
Digvijay - made by West Bengal Scooters Ltd. (State of West Bengal)
