POWER CYCLES IN EUROPE
Conventional Machines Becoming Fewer Mr A. Khandanian, commercial manager of the largest powercycle factory in the world, is at present paying a business visit to Christchurch. The factory, which is in Paris, produces nearly 1400 units a day and has exported 1.500,000 machines to 78 countries throughout the world. “Seventy-five per cent, of the bicycle sales in Europe are now of the silent-running motorised type, and only 25 per cent, are of ‘conventional’ bicycles,” he said last evening. In Europe, power cycles did not have to be registered, and the riders did not require a licence, he said. Through the import restrictions, New Zealand would only receive a limited number of the power cycles in the future. However, Mr Khandanian said he was hoping that the future would brighten next year.
