THE REBIRTH OF AN ICON

The Phelon & Moore brand was re-established in 2022 by a group of passionate investors with long term experience in motorcycles and scooters design, manufacturing and distribution; with the purpose to create premium vehicles on a global scale, inspired on the colorful history of Phelon & Moore and Panther of the 20th Century.

OUR GREAT INSPIRATION

1902 Phelon Prototype

Can be considered the very first motorcycle ever, with engine as stressed part of the frame, patented back in 1902

1902

Founders Joah C. Phelon and Richard Moore started Phelon and Moore in 1904

1904

Joah Carver Phelon

Richard Moore

1915-18

1920

P&M 498 Tourer

One of the fledgling firm's first developments was a two-speed primary gear consisting of a pair of chains and a selective clutch, which would remain to the 1920s.
Mainstay of production prior to WWI was a 3 1⁄2hp single cylinder machine, that would be progressively developed, gaining magneto ignition, a contracting band rear brake, P&M's own front fork and a mechanical inlet valve.

1932

250cc lightweight engine with bolt on rocker box assembly designed for the Panther line-up

1951

P&M Panther Model 100 - 600cc

The Panther 100 remains a very handsome and torque-soaked machine. Its build quality remained a benchmark for decades and its simple and fairly robust powerplant continues to inspire enormous enthusiasm in its owners.

1964

P&M Panther Model 100

The Panther M100 sports the sloping engine, after half a century it still had modern lines, a timeless design helping it compete with the new bikes the market had to offer.

Royal Air Force Supply

The Royal Flying used P&M motorcycles during the First World War, keeping the company busy throughout the conflict.
P&M were also selected as the suppliers when the Royal Armoured Corps added sidecars to their range of vehicles in 1922

1924

Revolutionary 500cc OHV Engine Design to compete in the Tourist Trophy

1934 - 1936

The Rugged Road

Theresa Wallach and Florence Blenkiron, take on a 21720km Journey from London to Capetown on a Phelon & Moore Panther

1957

Panther Redwing

The Panther Redwings were one of the most docile and yet the fastest standard machines on the road.

1967

Phelon and Moore Production ends

The Rugged Road

1936

Now in ill-health, Theresa briefly remained in Cape Town while Florence returned alone with a new Panther and sidecar reaching Kano in January 1936 (her account is brief) but was strictly refused permission to attempt the Sahara alone, so she and her Panther combination crossed by desert bus.

Both girls served in WW.II. Theresa then emigrated to USA, exploring the continent motorcycle before setting up a motorcycle agency and motorcycle riding school. Florence thereafter lived a quite life.

1934

The Rugged Road contains Theresa Wallach’s posthumous account of her and Florence Blenkiron’s London to Cape Town adventure, crossing the Sahara desert unaided, by Panther motorcycle, sidecar and tented-trailer in 1934-36. Both women were keen motorcycle racers; in 1933 Florence (a secretary) became the first woman to break the coveted 100mph record (Theresa, an engineer, was the third in 1939). The girls first met in 1933 and became firm friends. When Florence was determined to see friends and relatives in South Africa, Theresa suggested they went together ... by motorcycle.
