Had one of these when I was about 13 years old - now 79! Mine was called a "Corgi." As far a I now, the original military version was called a Welbike - it was very similar but had some differences. After the war, a commercial version for the public was built in the UK by Brockhouse Engineering and called the "Corgi". Eventually, Indian bought them out and renamed scooter as the "Papoose" for sale in the USA. I think it was only sold for a few years - if that.

This is the post war civilian version. The wartime version is The Excelsior Well Bike and was used by the British Airborne troops. It was slightly smaller and had two smaller fuel tanks either side of the frame just above the engine. They had to be kept pressurised via a hand pump to keep the fuel flowing into the carburettor. They were painted in a Matt army brown colour.

I feel your pain. I cut my teeth on a 1947 HD with a suicide clutch/shifter. I rode big Harleys most of my life, but in the late 1960's I needed to get my daughters red Honda 160 Dream from Cincinnati, Ohio to near Chicago. So, of course, I decided to ride it. It was the most "buzziest", underpowered, uncomfortable, swervy bike I ever rode. But, the worst part was when it broke down in Indiana, a mechanic from Kersting's Cycle Center came to get me. Kersting's is still in business today and is an old fashioned Harley biker's utopia. We put the Honda in the truck and took it to the shop. I took a lot of good-natured ribbing, ate some free donuts and they got me back on the road. I did make it, but my rear end hurt for a week. Thanks for a great video and better luck next time.

If you're a biker of any magnitude, I can highly recommend a ride up there. I understand the old man passed away, but they took his collection and opened a museum just down the road from the dealer.

I'm not sure the Papoose was designed to run for 6 hours straight. I think it was designed more for being able to maneuver the battlefield and be able to regroup with your guys faster than it would be on foot once you landed. Did you also know that there was a mini tank designed to be airdropped from an airplane for paratroopers as well? It was called the M22 Locust and it's the cutest little tank ever.

They weren’t sold in WW2! That ‘Indian Papoose’ was an exported version of the Brockhouse Corgi, made in Southport, England, from 1947. It was a civilianised version of the ‘Welbike’ which was a British folding motorcycle designed to be dropped in containers, alongside British paratroops, but it only saw limited service.

It registered 85mph and my dad weighed 350lbs and it hauled him so yes a 50cc can haul a big man. I went to the door to make sure they was actually throwing it out and their kid hadn’t just leaned it up against a trash can and sure enough they was like yea it’s yours hang on we will get you the key and title to it! They was super nice people and was glad to see a kid me so happy to get it. My cousin owned a Honda dealer and he had in went through and redone the carbs and electrical and some rubber and got it running like new! This was in the 80’s. So bike was 15 years old then.

Yep, and metal levers always destroy inner tubes. For those wheels you need big plastic levers. You can get them for full rubber bicycle tires. They are special levers about 20-30cm long with a handle on the end. They are almost as strong as metal ones with the only difference that they don't destroy inner tubes and rims. Also, patching an inner tube with duct tape will never work.

I suspect that you could find the nessary equipment at a bicycle shop to run those tires tubeless. They have value stems , rim and spok sealer that will solve your tire problems. Throttle cables are easy to make. When I was young cable breaking was extremely common. That is the reason old guys carry spair throttle and clutch cables on long trips. The invention of Teflon lined cable housings and Barrel inserts for the grip and alloy levers solved those issues . A good bicycle mechanic could have fixed you up in a short time .

People going by mopeds, bicycles, and slow bikes like that commonly go over the double yellow to give you space. If they don't, and get too close to you they can make you crash, or even run you off the road. Some places even have a law that if they can't give you at least 3 foot of space in the lane they are not allowed to pass in the same lane. As a lifetime cyclist due to eye issues I have no problem with them crossing that line to give me room. In fact it often helps if YOU as the slow bike get on the hard shoulder to let them pass if the traffic is fairly heavy.

Some of the machines were used by "The Royal Marines and The Royal Signals to provide a comic element to the stunts performed by motor cycle display teams.

Went To the National Motor Museum at Beaulieu UK and to my surprise saw one of these labelled as a "Brockhouse Corgi MKII (2)" was labelled as 1949.. pretty cool to see one in real life..

For tyres look for ones from a wheelbarrow. They aren't usually speed rated but they will take a lot of weight and they are probably what was used in the first place.

I had a BW 200 and a BW 80. The BW 200 has such huge tires they act like gyroscopes and it’s hard to lean them over. But they will go through two feet of water or snow no problem. Even more snow and up hill. A real tractor.

Sad to see you didn’t make it home with the bike. And it wasn’t even the bike having problems. Damn Amazon tires. By the way. I have never been or ridden a bike in my life before but I really enjoy your videos. Always look forward seeing what you post next. Maybe my first bike I will be able to buy it from you guys.

Next time use a bit of talcum powder on the inner tube, I've changed alot of tubes on 8,10 and 12 inch rims. Powder helps alot more than you think.

Buddy got a little 2001 Honda 90 four wheeler and the tires have no tread at all left. The one leaked air horribly to the point it would go from full to flat over night. We put that slime stuff in and its still holding air (its been like a month or two). Stuff works wonders
