Veloce's small lightweight, the machine that gave the Velocette name to the maker's later two-strokes. A 206 cc single with engine and gearbox sharing one casing, it came as a simple belt-drive single-speed or with a two-speed chain gearbox. It was built for easy handling and low running costs rather than speed.
