Moulton Stowaway

Bicycles and Human-Powered Road Vehicles

The Moulton Stowaway was the name Alex Moulton gave to the separable version of his original small-wheeled bicycle, listed in the first production range as the Stowaway M5 and in the low-volume S range as the Stowaway MS5. The S version was built in very small numbers at a separate workshop in Bradford-on-Avon, apart from the mainstream production at the BMC factory at Kirkby, and was designed to fold or break down for travel. It is remembered for its chromed frame finish. Production ran from roughly 1962 to 1967, the years before the Raleigh takeover of the Moulton business.
