Motorized western flyer
« on: June 20, 2018, 06:38:34 AM »
Never saw one of these before. Would make an interesting bike to cruise around the swap meets.

A little rusty, but I bet one of you guys could get this to fire up.

Seems to be two different bikes shown - the Western Flyer (engine in front of pedals) and a Velosolex (engine on front forks).

Probably selling several mopeds, and got his photos mixed up.    Managing photos when you've got lots of ads up requires a lot of organization and attention ....
