It looks like it is a Raleigh RSW shopper bike. What size are the tires? I have only seen them in pictures. What country are you in?

I would say it is an RSW then but I could be wrong. They started making these in the 60's to compete with Moultons. They could not of course compete but they were cheaper and Raleigh had a stronger advertising budget. They made different versions over time. If you look up old Raleigh catalogs starting say from 1965 you will likely find yours.

I don't know what model it is. But I can help you to find the model. Just upload the photo google image and click the search then I am sure google brings the result. Or u can use some google extension to search the model. Or another way You can contact the blogger who writes a blog about the bike, scooter, or outdoor sport vehicles.

It looks to me like a Huffy Touriste, probably made in Japan, rebadged for Raleigh of America. If that is a Sturmey Archer hub, it should have a date on the hub casing, and I would guess somewhere around 1980 judging by the badging style and amount of bling. If it is a Huffy, and you are in California, I imagine getting parts could be easier? No?
