I recently wanted to create a motorized bicycle that you see people with from time to time. I wanted mine to have a board track inspired look though. My father had an old schwinn frame laying around his home and figured to use it as a base. I also took up welding recently and decided this would be a perfect learning opportunity (don't judge my welds). I used all salvaged parts from old bikes except for the forks. Took about a week to finish and I am fairly happy with it.

  1. this is nuts Kort, really cool. I just saw a similar vehicle here in Nuremberg in an old motorcycle museum, I'll try to find the pics. It was set up to pace the bike racers back in the day..

    Your bike is awesome nice work. I'm currently working with Worksman Cycles in New York City USA to build tribute board track racer inspired frames for those of us who love pre & post world war-I motorized bicycles!
