Thought it was a good idea to create a new Social group for 1946-1948 Hiawatha Doodlebug Owners. Become a member if you own one of these beauties. OldMiniBikes.com Forum

Just curious if anyone has attempted to tally up all the owners of restored and intact Hiawatha Doodlebugs.

Could someone with a Hiawatha make me a template of the belt gaurd? Steve do you or you Brother have a gaurd to make a template from? Maybe DB Dave or JR.? This is my last part to round up then all I need is some energy:scooter:

This is the start of the project. This scooter is rumored to once belong to the Zem Zem Shriners in Erie, PA and was allegedly used in parades. I'm trying to confirm this. Here she is, as picked up: I've started removing the rust by electrolysis and painting parts.

What keeps the rear wheel centered? Does anyone have some closeup photos that would show the assembly? I'd also like to see the brake and throttle linkage setup. Thanks in advance! ~ Dave

This is a great deal for what I think is an orignal complete 1947 Hiawatha doodle bug. $2,900 1947 Hiawatha Doodle Bug Motor Scooter

I just returned from Annual Hiawatha Doodle bug reunoin, seen tons of real Doodle Bugs. I am wondering if anyone here has Hiawathha scooters. I have 6 of them and it seems that i am in good company. Is there any more here? Al
