Rocket Scooter

Thanks I knew the badge is a repo, but I didn't know the scooters did not have a badge. I saw the pix of your scoot and thought scoots and bikes sported a badge. I love this education I am getting on these crazy things!

@Infared note not only the original Alexander wheel with fenders but also the tiny kick stand welded on! Some of mine have that some don’t

Wow! My frame and fork was painted by the guy I got it from as I recall. It's flat black with red oxide primer showing where nicks in paint are. Because it had been repainted I was going to go for a full on show stopper with NOS parts or triple chrome parts. I should have thought about it a little more before getting this far with picking up bits. Now I am thinking about leaving frame alone as well as fenders and getting different original wheels and putting ti together like that. I know it's an individual preference. But what are your thoughts?

Alexander made the bikes and scooters on the cheap with most likely used parts from other bikes. He did not use fancy, high end parts! So I like to keep mine basic and plainer to show the LINES of the bikes and scooter frames and forks.
That’s my 2 cents! It was end of the depression start of WWII

Kick stands for reference. As usual, alllll different!
And some don’t seem to have had one at all

I appreciate your opinion. You are a valuable resource to the Rocket bike community. Your passion for the make is inspirational to me!

No kick stand on mine thinking about using a rear stand if I can locate one with ears attached to the stand.
