Corgi Motorcycle Co Ltd.

The Corgi Motorcycle Co Ltd. was a British motorcycle manufacturer based in Southport that produced 98 cc scooters developed by managing director John Dolphin from the military Welbike motorcycle.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=British motorcycle manufacturers )〕 Production of the Corgi scooter for the UK market began in 1948 and 27,050 were manufactured before production ended in October 1954.〔
==History==
Founded by managing director John Dolphin at the end of the Second World War in 1946〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=John Robert Vernon Dolphin )〕 the Corgi Motorcycle Company was formed to develop a civilian version of his 98 cc Welbike, which had been designed at The Frythe in Hertordshire to be dropped by parachute to support airborne troops.
The main difference between the Corgi scooter and the Welbike were that frame was more solid (as weight was no longer such an issue) and the Corgi had a fuel tank in the normal motorcycle position between the handlebars and the saddle. Both were otherwise very similar with small wheels and folding handlebars and seat. Both had 98 cc two-stroke engine with a single gear. The original Corgi scooter was started by pushing, but the Mark 2 was fitted with a kick start and two clutches – a conventional handlebar operated clutch and a "dog-clutch" operated by folding down the right hand footrest to engage the rear wheel, to enable the Corgi to be kick-started and run whilst stationary.
Brockhouse Engineering of Southport built Corgi scooters, powered by an Excelsior Spryt Autocycle engine)〔 under licence. Many of these were exported to the United States between 1947 to 1954. Sold through a department store, the Corgi was branded the Indian Papoose in the US market.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Brief History of the Marque: Corgi )〕 Production of the Corgi scooter for the UK market began in 1948. 27,050 were manufactured before production ended in October 1954.〔
