Great Article on Whizzers - From Special Interest Autos - #133 - February 1993

[Russ McClay]

As a China Girl builder, I can only dream of having a Whizzer! I think they are the nearly the ultimate motorized bicycle. A friend knows my interest in motorized bicycles and as he was cleaning out some old stuff he came across this magazine article which I have scanned and share with you:

So much has happen since then, Bob Baker has passed, some others as well.
Willard Larson did the first New History of Whizzer in 1992, and revised in 2005, more history n pics.
Fred Koehnke is still doing his OHV kits.
The Whiz-in, both Fresno and Orange Ca. have stop for some time now.
The Delta Whiz-in in Isleton Ca. is what we have now in the West Coast, i need to make it out to one yet.

The Whizzer Motorbike Co. in Huntington Beach Ca. was bought by Whizzer U.S.A.
There were suppose to be two more Whizzer Books by now, still waiting.

Thanks for posting this priceless information.
I hope a whizzer comes your way soon.
