This is a 1918 cyclomotor kit on a 1918 pope bicycle both are original and correct for each other.. . This was a motor kit that would be purchased from a catalog at the time for the bicycle just like the whizzer kit for the schwinn bicycle of the 1950’s.. the kit costs some where around 125.00 at the time. Which was a big amount of money.... this bike is all original paint sold here I need Portland ... I restored a seat to be able to ride this bad boy when Its finish. some of the small parts to complete this bike are missing.. they now have to be replicated.. due to its rarity, I’m still learning on what was needed to finish it up.. I can’t wait to hear it run.. it will be a bit before I finish it up.
Great find enjoy it.
Every piece is classic. Never seen a carbide lamp quite like that. 2 cycle ?
Thanks ...yes it’s a 2 cycle engine. Very small engine..The carbide lite is motorcycle size not bicycle. It’s Just a tad bit larger..
