MOTORIZED BICYCLES:   Marman 1948 posted by: Doug on 5/20/2007 at 6:23:27 PM
I hate to think about this but I may have to sell my 1948 Marman. I have the original title to it and the belt guard that is not in the picture. I have been told that the value was around $2000 without the belt guard but I do have that. If anyone is serious about this please email me. I have another project that needs some funds and this would be the only way to get it. I will know for sure in about a week if I need to sell it or if I get a very fair offer it might be sold anyway.
Thanks,
Doug

MOTORIZED BICYCLES:   whizzer engine displacement 1951 posted by: dave on 5/9/2007 at 1:16:04 PM
I had a 1951 Whizzer motorbike when I was a kid, built on a Schwinn frame with 26" wheels. It had magneto lights, a front brake that didn't work, and two tailpipes: one flexible chrome and another louder pipe that was long, solid and chrome plated. What was its engine displacement? Were all Whizzers 49cc or less? I seem to remember it could generate 3 HP.
