I have ridden a Bonneville Flyer and an AGK 212 bike.. They are very good. There is also the Zeppo Marx Marmon motorized bicycle manufactured around the time of World War Two that has great reviews and I think Curtisfox used to own one as a youngster except it threw a rod through the case. Also Venicemotorbikes Ruff Cycle 212 build and his other 212 build with moped style hubs is probably up there too. Gilbert had a nice one. What is the best motorized bicycle ever manufactured in the world?

Thank you Venice Motor Bikes. Indeed 2-stroke bikes are light, fast and fun. The lightness is a major convenience in maneuvering them around while riding and in the home. There are a few people who have the skills now to adjust the bottom end so that they will fit various types of top ends that give reliability, power and lightness. They have always been fun. The 2-stroke has come a long way in the past 10 years. I would like to own a properly modified two stroke fitted to a drop loop Worksman bicycle with the SportsmanFlyer two stroke mount.

Whizzer. Best design for putting high miles. Those phatmoto bikes with the 79cc look like good designs as well. Anything with a motor that’s not too powerful and won’t break all other components or shake them loose is the best.

Venice Motor Bikes I think you are one of the best designers of motorized bicycles, and also looking at the films your bikes accelerate very well from a stand still, stop good and handle very well. I would vote for your factory as building the best because of the reasons I mentioned and your foundation of many years of on the job experience. A sincere thank you for your contributions to the world of motorized bicycles.

Yes wrench. I am thinking the same thing. The Bonneville doesn’t count because of the motorcycle tires. The Sportsman200 would also be my vote for the best because it is good looking, the CNC component parts have given the SportsmanFlyer built drop loop frame off Worksman the most perfect drive train alignment, other parts: gas tank, exhaust, intake, pedals, chain, sprocket, forks, steering stabilizer, motorized bicycle clutch and throttle are all of the highest quality. This bike you just turn the throttle and go. By the way your Whizzer is a beautiful motorized bicycle that absolutely deserves honorary mention. You transformed that machine into a bulletproof bike that is good looking, fast and handles very well. I don’t know what year your Whizzer was built. It is a beautiful tribute to the ones from the 1940’s.

1950's or older frame is 2-2 1/2 times thicker frames like this Shelby traveler... The ultimate bike today would be something made from cromolly steel like a dirt jumper BMX... Welding on gussets and braces... Building your own frame from cromolly tubes like Paul Brodie would be the best... Worksman is right there also being a heavy weight frame... Schwinn whizzer frames another... I'm not a fan of aluminum frames and carbon would be a disaster but titanium would be something of money was no object

Thank you Mossy. The business world is tougher than high school football. Those guys will use leverage against people who don’t have the time or money to correct the wrongs committed against them. That’s why I appreciate ethical people in the motorized bicycle business.

I'm waiting for this AliExpress frame to arrive... They show Venice motor bikes logo in there photos I'm not sure if it's legit ??
I've seen things like this many times over the years... My bike is a real 1950s Schwinn with a genuine Sportsman Flyer tank... what they're selling are cheap Chinese copies.

Like it was said above; there's not much I can do without spending a ton of money.
I'm at least glad they posted my name (so I get the business).

Knock offs often reveal they're far from being a bargain. The expenses associated with them can far out weigh the cost of an original.

Thank you Sidewinder Jerry. Yes, the properly built high quality motorized bicycle is a bargain because the parts accomplish their intended purpose, have a foundation of a lot of R and D from the manufacturer and they don't break. The high quality motorized bicycle may cost three times more, It is literally ten times better.
