Finally got it all together now. Drove it down to the lake, & buried the speedo. (40 mph) I was really suprised. Not even broken in yet, so ought to do at least 45 or so after a couple of tanks. Just a Chinese 49cc with a velocity stack, better exhaust, & a torque converter.
I put a solo seat on for now, but have a custom bannana being upholstered. It will be ready next week.
tell us about the engine ...not a happytime...4 stroke?
& the torque converter...tell me more

Dude I dig the tank! May have to try that myself. What did you use to weld into the tank to hold the speedo? If that's what you did that is. Is it licensed for street use? Just wondering its got a tag!
Yes that speedo is cut away & welded into the tank. I wouldn't reccomend this type of mechanical speedo though-it works. The newer electronic ones are more accurate & less trouble to hook up. This is def old school. The engine is a Mitsubishi clone. Cheap Chinese 49cc you can buy for 100 bucks. Fits most gopeds. The Torque converter is also another fine product from China. I got it from Staton-Inc for 75.00.
This bike is Totaly legal during daylight hours in CA. Yes that plate is real.
I welded a battery box under the engine so lights are in the near future.

Thanks again. Hey L.F. This is a stock Whizzer speedo I think... It came to me with some other stuff from a guy that sold for the $ to go to next project. I have a Motobecane mechanical that I took - off that is rectangular & needs some body that would apprieciate it. It goes to 40. Let me know if you want it. I'll send to a good home for the price of ship to you prob 5.00 US send me a PM.
