Although there were many manufacturers, the most popular were the Trojan minimotor, the Powerpak, the B.S.A. Winged Wheel and the Cyclemaster. Another was the Teagle bicycle engine, 49 cc single cylinder, 2 stroke cycle engine, made by W.T. Teagle (M/C) Ltd, Blackwater, Truro, Cornwall, England, c. 1955
