1953 Berini M14 Cyclemotor fitted to an Elswick Hopper

 

 

With an engine over the front wheel, the Berini M13 was built in Rotterdam from 1949 to 1961. As it was developed from the Cyclemaster, engine size was initially 26cc, increased to 32cc in 1951 (the M14). In the Netherlands, it was known as “the Egg” because of the shape of the fueltank (designed by welding two headlamps together from a DKW motorcycle). The Berini was the most popular Dutch bicycle engine and could reach up to 30 km/h.

As you can observe with this example (video link below), it has a wheel-activated horn that sounds like a duck!
