I've been checking out this site for months taking in all the fantastic creations
and I have to say thanks for all the ideas and inspiration!
This bike started out as a Schwinn ladys 10 speed with the lower bar removed and welded top side. The rear end and wheel is from a Pepi moped bent and fitted to the Schwinn.
The motor is a late 70's Tecumseh 3hp 2 cycle from a ToroPup snowblower using the original motor mounts and welding 1" square stock to the frame.
A 5/8 clutch and a 70 tooth mini bike sprocket cut on a lathe was used to fit over the brake hub.
The sprocket seemed a bit big but surprisingly it worked out quite well giving it enough torque for a smooth take off.
Fuel tank is from a late 40's Briggs engine fastened with brass straps.
Hand brakes compress rear drum and clutch band which was mounted to the square stock.
No pedal power though, as I opted to cut & weld the pedals forward so they're more of a foot peg than a pedal.
