IceniCAM Information Service

Introduction

This page is all about where to get information about Cyclemotors, Autocycles and Mopeds whether it be general or specific.  Everything: books on the subject, workshop and other manuals, who to ask for advice...

Books

Books on cyclemotors, autocycles and mopeds are fairly thin on the ground in the UK; we have written a page that tells you about some of the ones that we know of... and we can even sell you some of them.

Information Library

If you've read the articles on this Website, you may have noticed that a good deal of research has to be done to find out the history of the machines we write about.  Fortunately, we don't have to go far to get that information^[1].  Most of the team have been interested in Cyclemotors, Autocycles and Mopeds for many years and, as a result, have accumulated rather a lot of information on the subject.

We've decided that we shouldn't be keeping all this information to ourselves, it should be available to anyone who needs it.  So, here it is: the IceniCAM Information Service.  We've put together a list of more than 5,000 documents and we're making them available - either on CD-ROM or as photocopies.  The complete list is available on our downloads page.

If you need any information on your machine, get in touch with the information service by e-mailing .  We can send you the full list, or just let you know what's available for your machine.  Like the rest of IceniCAM, the 'shoestring budget' principle applies.  We're not planning to make our fortunes, we just aim to cover our costs.  So, a single CD-ROM will cost you just £3 - and that includes P&P to the UK.  Photocopy prices depend (of course) on how many pages there are in the documents.

But that's not all we have - there's a whole load of other information we have access to.  If you have any questions to do with Cyclemotors, Autocycles or Mopeds, ask us and we'll try our best to answer them.  If you need to know the ignition timing for a Dunkley Whippet - or if you've bought a strange moped on eBay and want to know what it is, then just ask.  The address is the same: .

[1] Well, sometimes we do have to look further.  For example: some of the documentation for the Raleigh Rackabout article took some tracking down

Advisers

Lots of people in this hobby form attachments to a particular make or type of machine and learn quite a lot about them.  If you're one of these people, how about sharing your knowledge with other people who are interested in the same thing?  Not only will you help someone else, you might also gain more information about your favourite make.  If you'd like to become an 'IceniCAM Adviser', then just let us know and we'll add you to the list.  Send us an e-mail at telling us what your subject is and what contact details you'd like to be listed here.  And if someone else is already listed for your favourite make, that doesn't matter, we can have more that one person per subject.
