Purchased new in 1967. Bike is stock with the exception on the chrome exhaust covers. Hi/Low beam, front and rear shocks, chrome fenders and clutch cover. Never had a problem with this bike. Still looks pretty good. I have the original owners manual, engine manual, and warranty card.

I may be late to the party, but I have a Tecumseh 3 1/2 HP engine on my 1967 Rupp Continental Electra. It has two separate mounting spots for throttle cables. Perhaps it depended on just what vehicle the engine was going to be mounted into. I have had the mini-bike new since 1967, so I know...

Thanks Markus for posting the Fox Catalog. Boy, does that bring back memories. The exhaust pipe is a one piece chrome on my Rupp. It looked cool, but was extremely hot. Lucky for me, Uncle Don [of Uncle Don's Toys in Palm Springs] had the answer. A two piece chrome cover that fit perfectly...

My Thanks To All Who Have Shown Interest in My Old Rupp I was not expecting any responses to my post/thread. Now I need to learn how to communicate with everyone effecrtively. I posted several more photographs today. I am sure that some of you will find them interesting as all parts on my...

This is a rear view of the Rupp. Riding at night in the desert alone was a real thrill. Surprisingly, the headlight had a high low beam that worked pretty well. The rear taillight came in handy when riding on some of the small back roads of Palm Springs at night.

I am new to posting. So, please forgive any mistakes that I make while learning.

I had no idea the mini-bike community was so large. This will take time to get use too.

Thank you for the compliment. I still have the original receipt, owners manual for the Rupp and Engine, and my Bell Equipment Catalog that I received at Uncle Don's. I ordered my first Bell Helmet through that catalog.

Hello Everyone, Just a short intro about my interest in Mini Bikes. I began riding at age 10 on a old used Fox Mini Bike that I purchased from my sister's husband for $50.00 dollars. That was 1962. I converted the straight chain drive to a Jack Shaft Drive for better acceleration. Our...
