That is a super nice find!

Hi: Are those parts for sale? T

Ha!

Hi Fred: Thank you for your comment. I don't ride it, yet. I obtained a operation manual recently and hope to try to get it running soon. Tom

Hi: FYI. Photos of my 1950 (?) NOS Travis Bike Motor mounted on an early-1940s Columbia Bicycle (w/ original paint). This is the 1.0 hp version of the motor. Bike is equipped with a 1948 Sturmey-Archer expander brake. Huffman

The black unit is the coil. The front and especially the rear brakes are hard to find. No numbers stamped on the crank case - I don't know. I have three 700 series motors on vintage bikes and the serial numbers are easy to see. 700s are expensive, unless you are lucky to find them cheap.

Needs a Whizzer motor - it's that nice.

For sale??

Looks like a 1948 - or so (guessing). Perfect for Whizzer motor installation. Original colors are super! I'd start with a repop Whizzer motor installation manual. Call Mike Steiff at Whizzer Works in Ohio for parts / guidance. (740) 756-4484.

Here is some more information.

Head badge is a brass Schwinn "Admiral".

The left, rear dropout serial number starts with a "W." the rest of the serial number indicates the bicycle was manufactured in May of 1956.

Craig's List - if you believe it. I was searching it and the listing came up at the same time.

Found a 1956 Whizzer Special in original colors. Reportedly in climate-controlled storage for 40 years. Stared right up after oil change. Rebuild commencing to to make it road-worthy.

So sorry to hear of Harvey's passing. Rest in peace.

Thanks!

Here is a picture of my dad riding a Saginaw Power Bike in Detroit back around 1948.

Here is a photo.

Very nice find! I have one in original paint too with a 700 series motor on it. I'll try to post a picture soon.
