messin around in paint

[Ludwig II]

19 pages of scooters, and some ideas might transfer across. It's fun just to look at the world of the past and sometimes laugh at the strange things they made and shed a tear for the works of genius that were never to be. http://stabilcar.over-blog.com/

TZI scooters, some ideas in there, and it makes me ask, who has stretched the back end of a bike to place the engine behind the seat tube? Surely somebody has?

I like this thread! I've done a few digital mockups in the past. here's my vision for my next bike.

What style is Diceman's mockup? I wish somebody (Barnworks) would make such a frame.

 

[Ludwig II]

The style is early 30s speedway bike. If you start out with the frame style known as mixte, you could remove some tubing and bend the down tube to get an engine in.

And here's one Crocker prepared earlier:

not paint, good old pen and paper. still a work in progress

 

[Ludwig II]

Why not consider doing a version of Killercanuck's tube chop?Cut and invert the down tube so the top curves down and the bottom curves up. Then put the engine in front of it.

 

[MitchP]

Why not use a 4 stoke like the motoped?

 

[Ludwig II]

If he's already got a 2 stroke, why spend more money?

 

[BarnstormCyclewerks]

I'd consider it if i decided to try using a pocket bike motor. something like this would be cool. Certainly more Moped-y
