Travels on a Moulton in the Cevennes

June 1, 2010 in Luggage Racks, Moulton, Moulton APB, Moulton TSR, Pashley, Touring

I recently completed a cycle camping tour in the Cevennes in France. The tour took 6 days and covered about 420km.

There were three of us in the group – one large wheeler, one Moulton TSR and my own Moulton APB.

We wild camped 4 nights, used a campsite 1 night, and stayed in a “Hutte” 1 night.

Check out this Moulton APB Tandem on Youtube.

Moulton have never built a factory tandem, but several Mouton based tandems have been created as custom projects, by third-party framebuilders.

Several APB based tandems have been built by Doug Pinkerton. Here is one example of a Doug Pinkerton Moulton APB Tandem

Moulton / Land Rover APB

September 14, 2009 in History, Moulton, Moulton APB, Pashley, Uncategorized

Saturday marks the 14th anniversary of the launch of the Land Rover APB in September 1995. The Land Rover APB was a Pashley Moulton APB, using the Land Rover name under licence. Thanks to Ken Butterfield for the brochure scans and original press release.

Also, have a look at this interview by Carlton Reid with AA President, Edmund King. During his time with the RAC, King launched an RAC branded APB, introducing…

…RAC members to the concept of “mobility, not just motoring”, spearheading a ’smart travel’ campaign by selling RAC-branded bicycles. These were re-badged Moulton APBs, produced by Pashley. “We sold a few,” said King, ” but it was more to make a statement than make money.”

Moulton with child seat

September 9, 2008 in Moulton

My Moulton APB and Mk3 at the beach. The Mk3 is fitted with a Kangaroo Weeride, centre-mounted child seat.

Being centre mounted, it is exceptionally stable, and balance is not affected at all. The WeeRide features a padded headrest, which protects against the child hitting their face/head against the stem, and allows the child to rest their head if they get tired. My daughter derives great amusement from ringing the bell, which she can easily reach.


The Mk3 has a relatively short top-tube length (distance from head tube to seat tube). Riding the Mk3 with the WeeRide fitted, long-legged riders can find their knees need to move outwards a little to clear the child seat. This can be reduced by mounting the Wee Ride at the forward-most extreme of it’s range of adjustment. This might become uncomfortable on longer ride – though I find it quite acceptable on leisurely rides of 5 or 6 miles.

I purchased the WeeRide from Seats For Kids in the UK
