Pedal Motorcycle

Hero Danny · October 16th, 2014, 06:14 PM

I need some help,

When I was a child my dad came home with a black bike that looked like a motorcycle, he got it from the junk pile lol.

It was really cool, if my memory serves correctly it kinda just looked like a bicycle with some fake plastic fairings to make it look like a motorcycle.. kinda looked like a pregen actually. lol

So, I've been googling everywhere trying to see a photo of something like what I'm thinking about, but there's nothing...

I'm beginning to think that this may have been custom made. I'm upset he threw it away years ago

Have any of you guys seen such a thing? Pictures would be greatly appreciated.

This? lol

Hero Danny · October 17th, 2014, 03:41 PM

lol no, the best I could describe it would be kinda like a black pregen but without a windsheild and just had some handlebars and regular bike tires with some pedals. Plastic covered the frame. If I could remember correctly, it was pretty well done. Looked like it was manufactured and not custom made. I'm going to search for photos that may be of it,

I think it was a Harley looking thing. I remember seeing a black contraption that fits what your saying.

Welcome, Kensey, resurrector of dead posts! This is a great forum.

OK... I admit that I'm curious what the mystery bicycle is, too.

I wished I did... I've asked my dad about it a few times and he can't remember what it was called either.

I've searched everywhere for a picture of it and even went through tons of pages through google trying to find it. I can't, which makes me believe that it was something custom made. My dad found it being thrown away at the dump and brought it home for me.

The best I can describe it is it looks like a black pregen with some pedals on it.

I've google "bicycle with fairings" with no luck

If I ever do find it you bet i'll come back and update this thread.

It makes me sad that my dad threw it away

that thing used to turn heads!

Here ya go, I asked on reddit and I believe this may be what we're looking for here! If not, then it's close!

I just found out that this thing is actually worth a little bit of money too

Hopefully I can find a decent example to buy! I want my future kid to experience the awesomeness!

Put a spoked rim on the back with a baseball card and you'd never be able to tell it wasn't a pre-gen (well, maybe you could tell by the bicycle's louder exhaust note, but it would be close).

Good work, Danny! Way cool!

Careful about trying to thrust your tastes upon your future kids, though... Especially ancient history toys.
