Rebuilt from the original 1960s minibike with new and custom parts (listed below) all efforts have been attempted to keep the original appearance. The frame is complete without any cracks (although there are minor drilled holes (<1/3" diameter) from previous mods near the gas tank that do not...

Had a hard time finding a replacement Tecumseh. The old engine was long gone when I got it. I wanted a similar 79cc 2.5Hp. I went with a Carroll Stream...

I am currently entertaining offers on the Skat Kitty on ebay. Just do a search for "Skat Kitty with Sidecar". My apologies if this is not the right place to post this. New to the forums.
