Motorized Bicycle

June 18, 2020

I have always been fascinated with the classic era when bicycles. With the new electric bicycles hitting the market, I wanted to create something economical and with a classic twist. I took an old vintage Schwinn bicycle frame and combined it with a 49cc motor kit.

The look of the motorized bicycle derived directly from the cafe racer motorcycles. An aesthetic with minimal decor, light weight, and visible mechanism.

This is how I envisioned the possible looks.

You can see how the build came together.

I grew up in the 90’s watching rally cross shouting at the TV as cars flew over humps at ridiculous speeds and sliding around corners throwing dirt into the crowd. The closest thing I could get to this was making engine noises while I pushed the shopping cart….
