1921 Velocette D2, England
1902 Triumph with 2.25hp Minerva engine, England frame, Belgium engine.
A contentious one. 1904 or 1905, and either a Chater Lea or a Triumph with what experts believe to be a German Fafnir engine
1904 Matchless with De Dion Bouton engine http://www.theimagefile.com/tx.aspx...70a08299dbd5e4af2fa25affdbcef6e17d.1350169044

Re: European lightweights
1957 Mercury Mercette, pushrod 4 stroke 50cc, 2 speeds, neither marked "quick", England.
Wolf poster, 1909, England.
1910ish JES 142cc engine in unknown bicycle, England.
151 Eysink tandem (Holland) with VAP engine (France).
1952 Haza diesel moped (probably using a Lohmann engine?).
Edit: Haza was an East German copy of the Lohman, but 7cc bigger. What a stormer!

Re: European lightweights
Wow, love the look of the Imme R100! Talk about style ahead of its time for a 99cc '48-'51, wild.

Re: European lightweights
That's wild. Took me a minute looking at a bigger pic to realize the whole engine pivots with the rear swing arm/exhaust too. Now if it only had pedals...
Re: European lightweights
The Rieju/Serwa's cool too. Google found your other thread, and you already linked the blog about it
Its a cool concept, drive two rollers, and tilt the engine to change which roller is "active". Could work well for tire friction drive too, eh? Instead of driving a spoke mounted "friction ring"... very interesting.
Where rollers meet the rubber:
the "shifting"(tilting) mechanism:
Could start a new generation of 2-speed FD's if it catches on
