1948 Whizzer Cycletruck ?

Rare... Rare...

Über rare ad for Model MCT (yes, it IS a Cycletruck badge, but I've never seen one on an MCT).
Also note it's fitted with an EARLY H kit (with the spring bar under the motor and flat guard). Yum!!!

Neat brochure! I've had 5 Whizzers.... What is the advantage to having the strut bracket to the coaster brake lever??

What is the advantage to having the strut bracket to the coaster brake lever??

Basic engineering. Triangulation makes the strongest structure. The arm 'absorbs' the braking torque.

Cycletrucks are not my favorite, but with a whizzer motor on it, MAN-OH-MAN, it just looks right!!!

note that the bar under what would be the sign

is raised and curved to accommodate the motor

Whizzer motorcycle engines ceased production in 1965 due to the increasingly competitive bicycle engine market.

Bringing up an old post

Hopefully this will post. Here is mine..... 1953 and going through full blown restoration. Looking for rear sheave and also belt guard (painted, not chrome)

I had a feeling this was going to be a hard buger. The catalogs from Schwinn indicated that there was such animal, but it has not been seen yet.

Yes the "Schwinn Cycletruck" did exist. I have the factory blue prints for the frame construction from Schwinn. They are 1:1 scale drawings. I always wanted to get a regular Cycletruck an convert it to the Whizzer style.
