| Have collected the owners manual, part lists and shop repair manuals for the TAS Spitz, Sears Free Spirit, Aqua Bike Bug. Full library on original literature published on these fun little engines. Plus have a method of making the drive hub for less than $2.00 that propel your bike faster, have your engine work less and last longer than the original Tanaka drive hub. Will reproduce literature and mail in US for $20.00. Send check to: Mike Schneider 1307 Country Place Circle Houston, Texas 77079 |
| Great! I'll be in touch... Have you figured out how to manufacture a drive roller capable of wet condition use? The Machine shop at the Technical College I attend is working on some drive rollers for me at the moment... Faster, less engine stress, and longevity...?! I would love to talk more with you about this... Rif |

| Is Schwinn still making and selling the reproduction Krates? |
| i would appreciate any info on a kamasura motor bike. where can i get a manual? how mush it is worth |
| Have you found anymore info on the Kamasura? No luck here. |
| Hi folks, I´m looking for a set of tires for my moped. Please where I can find this size 2 1/4 x 19 tire? regards, Demetrius |
| I found a moter scooter in a scrap iron yard and would like to know if any one knows anything about it. The scooter is in good shape and is all there. The label on the side says Gambles Hiawatha. I have never heard of one before. |
| Hank, If it helps at all, there was a chain of hardware stores called Gambles in the 60's and 70's. They had stores in Wisconsin, but I don't know where else they were. It may have been re-branded by them. If they are still around, an older employee may be able to help you out. Good luck. |
| Gambles was a store like Western Auto. They sold rebranded scooters from many sources just like Sears did with Cushmans and Vespas (Allstate) and Wards did with Silver Pigeons (Riverside). Gambles sold Doodle Bugs under a trade name, but i'm not sure what else. |
| I would like to know more about your "find". Could you email me a little more information? A picture would really help. Thanks, John |
| The reply from Clark on 4/30/01 includes notes about rebranded scooters. Montgomery Wards made/sold a "moped" called a Riverside. I only know this much as my fatherinlaw now owns one and is looking for a service manual. Do you know anything else about the Riverside? Thankyou. |
| Hey all, I just got home with a frame and a box full of moped parts. It is an AMF Roadmaster moped, with a Mcolloch 49 c.c. On the bottom of the engine it reads: McCulloch 49 C.C. McCulloch Corp. Los Angeles Calif. USA The tag on the top of the head reads: Max B.H.P. 1.0 Mod. 400621D Serial 11-042540 I have absolutely no reference material (aside from one lousy picture of one in about the same state of disassembly). I need any and all info that anyone can share concerning this old beastie. Tips, tricks, diagrams, manuals, pictures, literature, etc. Anything at all that will aid in the building of this wild ride. I already have Ideas as to it's final look, but I need to get the motor/driver assy. in order first. Thanks in advance for any help, Rif |
| I know someone that has lots of Mac info and NOS parts, I also have a copy of an owners manuel that you are welcome to. Send me an e-mail and I'll try to put you in touch with the Mac guy. Clark Wilcox |
| Thank you very much! Sending an e-mail right away... Rif |
| Good luck finding parts. I have been looking for about 1 year now and have found nothing. you might want to concider t o part the bik out and make money that way. I know several people that are looking for parts and would pay good money for. Give it a thought. |
| Hi I found a 3 wheel scooter?/Motorized Bike? and I am trying to find out more about it. The only marking I can find on it are: Maschinenbou Knott Eggstatt MKE MV 115 1958 nr 1668 Thanks in advance for the help:) |
| Just a quick thank you to all those that emailed me with the identity of my Cyclemotor. Dutch not English and a Berini. One extremely kind person even sent me a scanned owners manual for it. It is a total hoot and powers me past even the most high tech looking unpowered bikes. Cheers All Simon |
| A few years back I purchased one the Western Flyer 1991 repro's used. I was wondering what I would need to convert it to a motorized bike. I have a side shaft Clinton already. How would be the best way to mount it without altering the frame? What other parts would I need? |
| Check out Bike Rod & Kustom. There is an interview with Larry Louterback about building Kustom motorized bikes. There is quite a bit of good info there as a starting point. He is extremely knowledgeable and builds bikes using briggs and stratton 5.0 horse motors! Hope this helps a little... Rif |

| I just purchased a circa 1922 Evans Cycle Motor. Does anyone have any pictures or information on this early bicycle motor? |
| Oh WOW. I'm afraid I can't help, but if you do find any info would you be kind enough to share what info you are able to gather? I collect this sort of stuff for my archives. In my world, the more reference material the better! :-} Good luck in your quest, if I can find anything I'll pass it along. Rif |
| I have just purchased a used Cyclone from someone in Nashville,TN and need to ship it to Midland,MI. Anyone have any suggestions as to the best (and cheapest) way to get it there? Thanks for any advice. |
