The Raleigh RM1 was the first moped sold by the Raleigh Bicycle Company, introduced in October 1958 and discontinued in December 1959. It had a lady's bicycle style frame and a Sturmey-Archer engine fixed to the machine with no clutch, a 6.5 pint fuel tank, 26 by 2 inch wheels and tyres, and drum brakes, and it was finished in grey. It was the starting point of a range of Raleigh mopeds that ran until production ceased in 1971, and it was followed within a year by the RM1C, which added a manual clutch and coupled brakes.
