Is there any electric start device available for a Norton Atlas? An old man with RH sidecar wants to enjoy his bike a little longer but is unable to kickstart.
Thanks, WEAL

Not at present (as far as I know). I came across this interesting thread a while ago, which does suggest there's some hope for the future. https://www.accessnorton.com/NortonCommando/electric-starter-for-matchless-single.24204/

Not quite an E-start, but perhaps this could be modified to a Norton.

Probably of no use to you whatsoever, but I did see a converted Berkeley 3 wheeler with a 700 750 Royal Enfield engine. The engines featured Berkeley-design primary chain cases to accommodate a Lucas Bendix starter motor;
