I don't believe this site existed 2-3 years ago. Glad to find you guys. Looks like you have a well run site. I have some Mini Bike Guide Magazines I might sell. Where do I post them? ebay or on where on OLDMINIBIKES?
My minibike is a 1968-69 Powell Challenger that I modified. It was...
Runs and rides well. Besides the new prep paint & tires it appears to be original. The solo seat is something i haven't seen before..it may or may not be a stock item. Original motor & drive system works good. Serial #347-B.
Call Steve 951-852-4974 in Hemet Ca. Asking $ 750. OBO
my challenger is done and runs insanley fast, set timing to stock with key,
(flywheel spun with a slight advance) had to reinstall the key. its running on alcohol with stock timing and a restristrictor plate, i have a stock plug also.
i put it in low gear and hit the gas and watched it leave...
I never knew this, I'm sure you purest did? I'm working on more of Dads books and came across this in a 1968 Rod & Custom.
Invented by Willie Garner
Mfg. by SAAPE in Compton CA
And I guess bought out by Powell Bros?
Hey Guys
Well times are tough. lost my job a few months ago. Having a hard time finding a new one, and got to pay some bills. I have built over 30 different old school minibikes. It was a hobby for years. I really loved it. After i got more into cars i got rid of most of my stuff. Except this...
I want to build a Powell Challenger replica but I would like some measurements from a frame and I also need the width of the frame at the widest point.:smile:
I was just going through the recent photos and noticed a photo of some Powell forks that had been disasembled. My powell has one side of the forks bent. What is a good way to straighten the fork without bending or collapsing the tube. The springs look like they are held in with a round snap...
Looking to restore an powell challenger frame I have. I'm starting with only
the bare frame itself, no swingarm no forks. So I need just about everything.
I'm beginning to see why it's called a challenger... Thanks for any help.
