rat

1974 Rupp Rat in good condition. Mostly original but new rear tires, bottom seat cover and foot peg rubbers. Runs and rides great! Located in Canon City, Colorado. $1500

found an old Rupp Rat. Its in rough shape. Tecumseh engine, don't think it is original. No throttle cables or Brake cables. Does anyone have one of these or have pictures. Thanks.

Does anybody on the forum own a RUPP RAT or a TRUCKER (TRUK-R) trike? I've looked on the Internet for examples of a RAT and there are maybe one or two nice original examples and only one nice original example of a TRUCKER... Just curious if anyone here has one. Would love to know more...

Hello, I am looking for this Rupp rat catalog brochure or at least a copy if possible please.

This old Ford Rat Rod was the inspiration for My friend and Co workers first Mini Bike in 46 years. We started with a Roller picked up on Craig's List for $25 It was nice and rusty. Found the 1969 Briggs on CL for $40 and it was just serviced at a Lawn Mower Shop. The Back rim was bent so we got...

So this is the bike that started this disease for me. I bought it in May of 2015. I found this site and was able to identify it. I've learned a TON since then! I thought about doing a full resto, but it just needed to much stuff. I did buy a seat from Kenny about a year ago and purchased a NOS...

Just throwing some things together to build this bike, what's everyone's thoughts. Started with a mongomery wards frame, fox forks and bars, not sure what the front tire is off of but it has a disc brake on it so I spend the evening mocking up a mount for the rotor. Customised 80s honda 125...

Craigs list doodlebug . I really wanted suspension on this doodlebug. The seat was pretty much garbage. Trying to make it a more comfortable ride. When it came time for paint I was really attracted to the rat Rod brown. So this is my interpretation of a doodle rat mini. This is my second...

Kinda getting tired of shiny and polished cars.Been looking for a suitable ride to hotrod and leave the body pretty much how it is. May have found one,buddy of mine has it and only 15 miles away.Been sitting in a garage since 1953 until last year,very solid.Just under 46,000 miles.Didn't buy it...

Somebody my want this for a Rat bike, beat survivor build, or just display. Its a standard Tecumseh recoil starter. I did make sure the screw was not frozen, opened it up and lubed it. Has good rope on it and works well as it is. It is from a 1970 HS40 but fits many apps. Cool old school Road...

Mocked up my new Tecumseh AH58 2 cycle engine into a Ruttman Toad.Am going to try this 10-420-5 inch tire in the rear but it may be too wide with the spocket--will see. Question with a 2 cycle what gear should I run--12/60 of higher on the bottom as this engine revs a lot higher than a 4 cycle...

I picked this up today. Instead of trying to find the TAV with brake or the jack shaft setup,I plan on either putting a drum or disc on the rear wheel. (Much cheaper and I think it stops smoother). Then either Predator or the 7hp lighted Tec I have with TAV, and possibly solo seat with ,Harley...

Frame, forks and handlebars appear to be very straight with no bends,welds or cracks. Original sissy bar, front and rear fenders with brackets, brake caliper, brake lever, chain guide,kick stand and wheels etc are still attached. Perfect for "rat bike" build off or restoration. **Will not part...

Well I wasn't gonna start one, but here it is. Got this off Brown boonie's nephew. Main goal is make it my windber ride. Needs some fab work but not too bad. I have made worse look better. Not sure on my power plant yet. I have a cool windshield I found that will be going with this build too.

I really hope this isn't posted by anyone on this forum ! Several things are wrong here and I'll leave it up to you guys to catch them . Why is everything with a small motor & tires a Rupp ? Lol Rupp Rat Trike Mini Bike

I just got this one up and running. It was a friend of mine's, who passed away. The guy didn't believe in check ups, or doctors, and it caught up with him. Anyway, it has a low hour Briggs 5hp and a nice Comet TQ set up. I didn't like the stock briggs carb/gas tank set up, so I replaced that...

Went to a swap meet this weekend--no mini bikes but found something I always wanted to build--a Radio Flyer wagon.This thing is slammed rusted and really cool. I bought it but couldn't leave it alone so put slicks on it, tail lights, and a wicked exhaust that cost me $5. Had an old mini bike...

I needed a minibike completed by this Sunday with minimal money invested. Luckily I had a frame, wheels and a lot of parts that needed to do more than sit on the shelf. For everything else I am lucky enough to live close to Motor City Minis oh yeah and I bought a Hemi Predator. I bought this...
