MOTORIZED BICYCLES: Motorized scooters????

| Does this forum include discussions about motorized scooters? If not, please excuse. If so, here goes…
I'd like to hear some chit-chat about Viza vs. Mosquito motorized scooters. I just bought new Viza Venom, and I've discovered that both the scooter and the Viza Company come up short in several ways:
Firstly, the scoot arrived with just about everything lose or out of adjustment. It's a good thing I'm mechanically proficient and a bicycle mechanic or I'd be out of luck. By out of luck I mean don't count on any support from Viza. You're on your own. Service after the sale is nonexistent. Even if you can get a real person to answer their "technical help line," they don't seem to know much, and care even less.
Secondly, the motor on my scoot is very susceptible to overheating and vapor lock in temperatures above 90 degrees F. Again, no help from Viza despite letters, phone calls and e-mails.
With that, I'm considering getting rid of my Venom and getting a Mosquito. Anyone have experience with Mosquito scooters?

| My father gave my kids an AMF Roadmaster motorbike. I don't know too much about it except that it has a 1hp motor. Where can I find information about it? To be more specific, I would like to know how old it is and if it is worth anything. If anyone has information, I'd greatly appreciate an e-mail. Thanks! |

REPRODUCTIONS: Limited Edition Replicas
posted by: Kevin
on 7/19/2000 at 6:24:37 PM
| I'm interested in purchasing a classic bike reproduction. What accounts for the wide price differential between the "Limited Edition 1941 Columbia Superb F9T" at $800 and the "Schwinn 1954 Black Phantom" at $1600?....they both look like excellent bikes, but why is there such disparity in price? As a newcomer to the collectible bike arena, pls. enlighten me...thanks. |
RE:REPRODUCTIONS: Limited Edition Replicas
posted by JimW. on 7/20/2000 at 10:08:55 AM
| The disparity is due to the fact that one of them is a Schwinn replica. The Columbia is a very beautiful repop. I haven't looked at a Phantom repop, but I doubt it's any
nicer. If you have no strong Schwinn yen, go for the Columbia. Many people would prefer it, even without the
price differential. There was a good article to do with the
F9T repop at the CABE site. Probably still there. |
RE:RE:REPRODUCTIONS: Limited Edition Replicas
posted by JimW. on 7/20/2000 at 10:26:01 AM
| Yes, the article is still there. Go to: http://www.thecabe.com/directory/archives/65/myclassic.html
Richard also has a later article on modifications to his
F9T replica to make it even more authentic. PS: The Phantom
repop is pretty much all Taiwanese, the F9T isn't. |

| For the money, I prefer the Columbia. They did a real nice job. Also look at the Roadmaster Repro, you can pick one up for about $350.00. A real flashy bike. |

| CR, that's not such a crazy idea. There's a recumbent/parawing ultralite out there. (BikeRod&Kustom/off-topic archives#1)For the real chopper/bike there's the Gluhareff Pressure Jet Engine plans from http://rqriley.com , designed for back-pack copters, etc. For more on the jet/bike thing, have a
sneak preview of my interview with Robert Q. Riley in the
