What is it

#1 The blue one, I was told from the guy I got it from, may possibly be a Comet. I don't know.

Note the foot pegs in the rear and the extended frame. A mystery machine for sure

Could you please give me any information as to what this might be. It looks to be commercially made but I can find no numbers or tags anywhere on it. It has a 5 hp Honda which looks as if it is not original. It also has 3 holes down each side of the front forks like something is suppose to be mounted on them. thanks.

I have in my possession what I believe to be a restored Bradshaw motor that may have been either a prototype, or used in the ABC Skootamota, built in England before 1920. Do you have any information on the ABC company or Skootamota? Attached are photo’s of my motor.

I found this 'Wee Willy Scooter' locally. All I know is it was built in SLC, Utah. The motor and gas tank have been replaced with a Sthil cutoff saw motor. I would like to find out what the original motor was. This was a 'take-apart' bike and I was told that it would fit into an apple box when apart. The motor would have been a 'clockwise' rotation so it probably was a 2 stroke with a self-contained tank like a Clinton Panther A400 Dik Trotter

Hi, I bought this over the weekend. Nobody seems to know what it is. Can you help?

Hello my name is Randy Ressell, I own the ANTHONY motorized bike on your Scooters page.

I have recently picked up another Scooter that I need help to identify.

I have searched the web but find nothing else like it. I will try to describe it in detail.

The front half of the scooter actually looks very much like a Cushman but the rear half looks like a ToteGote. One odd feature is that the frame has a type of rear suspension. It has a twisting torsion bar - leaf spring type suspension near the rear pivot. Actually the entire rear of the bike, motor and all, swings as suspension.

At first, one might think that someone grafted two bikes together, which is a possibility but the welding and fabrication work looks very professional, it does not look home made or home modified.

Everything on it looks to be original to the bike. It has an aluminum block 3hp Briggs & Stratton with a Salsbury Clutch-Drive unit on it with 2 jack shaft chain ratio reducers. I have read that Cushmans never used Salsbury components but I don't know this for sure.

The wheels have decals on them that read "Aer-Roll Wheels, Los Angeles Ca.". The tires are Goodyear. It does not appear to have been ridden much at all. This could have been because the weld on the mount for the Torsion rear suspension, broke off of the frame from the twisting.

Could this bike have been a short lived Cushman model that was discontinued because of the flawed design of the torsion system? It sort of looks like it could be an early version of a Cushman Trailster, using the style of front frame like the Cushman Highlander.

This bike is red and that color looks to be original. There is a real old decal on the front fender that reads "San Jacinto Mountain Tramway" which is known today as the Palm Springs Tramway in the California desert.

Also, all of the fasteners on the bike are either drilled for safety wire or use lock type nuts.

The seat posts lift out of the frame to allow easy access to the motor and the rear rack comes off with four bolts. There is a serial type number on the frame but it looks like it may have been added after the frame was painted, maybe by the owner.

Please look at the pics. Any help by viewers would be appreciated. Thank You Randy Ressell

Hoping that you can help me...
A friend bought this at an estate sale in Michigan and he wants me to restore it for him.
It has been repainted and the engine has been replaced. It has a 2 belt, 4 pulley drive system and a band style brake. It also has a "Messenger" tricycle seat and a place for a battery to power the lights & horn.
I'm thinking at one time, it had at least an 8 HP engine with a generator but someone put a 3 HP B&S engine on it. It runs but the engine is for a rototiller or something not a scooter. The horn appears to be off of a Henderson. The "chariot" style body comes off to give you access to the belts & pulleys.
I would like to restore it to it's original condition but I am unable to find any info on it.
Can you or your site members help?
THANKS!! Barry Dennis Waterford, MI.

Here are a few pictures of the motor scooter. I don't know much about this scooter. It had a Shaw bike engine on it when I got it. I have found no reference to Shaw making a scooter. The frame is all angle iron except the curved piece on the front that attaches the floor board to the front forks. The uprights are angle iron and are perpendicular to the bottom rail. The seat frame is removable. The throttle cable comes out of the handle bars and goes through a copper tube. Thanks for your help.

I recently purchased this "tote-gote" frame and am in the process of restoring it.

This is a hard to find old Cushman Electric warehouse Scooter/Motorcycle. We were told that it is from approx. 1936. (we first thought it was a Marketer but someone who recognized it let us know exactly what it was and what year it was) The 24 volt electric motor works great, but it needs the battery and it is missing the speed control unit for starting and stopping. I have never seen another one so I do not know if it is missing any cosmetic items.

Hi, I scored this scooter at a swap meet last weekend and wondering if you have any history. It says Deardorff Mfg. Puyallup, WA. Looks factory made and never modified. Thanks for any info.

Tom Krotzman's "what is it" bike is about a 1964 Sherpa trail bike. Its original color was indeed yellow. I have a similar bike. The engine was actually turned around from normal,

Can you help me identify this trail bike? It is unusual in that it has its gas tank built into the frame. I doubt if the motor is original, but it probably had a similar one. I believe the original color may have been yellow, as seen under the red paint. I am getting ready to restore it and would appreciate any info that you could give me. I have attached 3 pictures, Thanks

Luke Rockhold's barn find is a Heald Super Bronc made in Benton Harbor, Michigan,

can't tell which model from the pics. I've been told that they still sell parts.

I have a minibike/scooter that I sort of inherited and would like some info about. My family got it from my grandpa's barn. I remember riding this thing all around our farm as a kid. My mom can only remember that my grandpa got it used from a distant cousin when she was just a kid. So from that it is at least from the mid 60's if not older. I just started restoring it. It has been torn apart and rusting in my parent's barn for the past ten years or so. If I remember right it had a 5HP Briggs engine on it that was painted white. The fenders and wheel rims were originally white and the frame still has the original blue paint. The front tire is a Good Year Terra-Tire tubeless 15x 6.00-6. And the rear tire is also a Good Year Terra Tire Xtra Traction tubeless 18x 8.50-8. As far as I know those are both the original tires. The rear shocks are made by Sebac and are the Fulgor series. And that is all I know.
