Moulton Safari M3

The Moulton Safari M3 was one of the original small-wheeled Moulton bicycles of 1962, designed by the Moulton Bicycle company of Wiltshire. The Science Museum Group holds an example and records it as made in 1962 in England by Moulton Bicycle Company Limited, describing it as one of a series of bikes designed by Alex Moulton, with a frame meant to be more comfortable and easier to store than a conventional one and a suspension system that would not become common on bicycles for several decades. The Moulton Bicycle Club lists the Safari as a fully equipped model for touring with a four speed hub and an optional two speed derailleur, and English Wikipedia numbers it M3 among the home-market models built between 1962 and 1967 at Bradford-on-Avon and the BMC car factory at Kirkby, Liverpool. The sources read give no weight or wheel size for the Safari M3 itself.
