HELP TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THIS SCOOTER IS By ka8yhu (Read 384 times)

I have looked and looked...cannot figure out what the scooter is. It's simular to a cushman and a moto scoot. Nothing matches...It had a 1947 Michigan Motorcycle License plate. I don't think it's a 47 based on the simple design...On the floor board there is "B" on the round pedal...it's the brake pedal, but a old timer though the "B" could possibly stand for the manufacture and not necessarily just "Brake"...Not sure. I have started to re-store it, and would really like to see a original to replicate.

There were lots of 'kit scooters' in the late 1940s and early 1950s when gas was in very short supply

i hope to see pics of that scoot restored. if you cant find any numbers or anything on it, just make it one of your own! i would go with cushman parts as they are pretty similar and you might be able to find them easier.
