Originally sold in the 1930's and 40's as cheap alternative to owning an auto or as a second vehicle, the Salsbury was said to influence the Vespa a few years later when taken to Europe to find investors. Driven by a single-cylinder, four-stroke air-cooled engine with a fluid-filled centrifugal pulley belt drive, these little scoots were advertised to run “at 1/3 the cost of an auto.” Drum brakes front and rear on a rear coil spring comprise the suspension with an advertised top speed of around 20 mph.
These scooters were very popular when sold new and were a great success as a business; they have a large cult following to this day. Many clubs are located about and restorations are common.
Scooter does run.
