Picked up an Allstate today! Someone painted it red but it is definitely an Allstate! Runs crappy and will barely get out of its own way but it's all there and has some great potential!

Lowe the gas tank!!!

Looks like a solid, complete bike capable of some serious terrain. Cool.

Was there a Sears model number on it anywhere?

Where would it be located?

 

[dirtbikeguy22]

Not sure, typically all their catalog bikes were sold with a model number marked somewhere on the bike.

How do you know it is an Allstate version?

I own a Sidekick and the Allstate has a different way of holding the kick stand.

 

[dirtbikeguy22]

They also sold a Sidekick 100 which could be the same?

The kick stands are the same but on a Sidekick the bracket that holds the kickstand up is to the left of the frame and it has a spring on it. It sticks out with a cut in it that fits on the kickstand to keep it up. The Allstate have a bracket in the middle that is spring steel. It is shaped holds the kick stand up in the middle.

Sidekick

I see! That is an interesting change. Thank you for the detailed clarification. Is the "Sidekick" version you have the 100 model?

Here are other photos. Which I don't believe is an Allstate but has the center kickstand holder.

You will also notice the center rear kickstand holder on the example in this thread which also has a 'Sidekick' sticker wearing away on it.

Allstate versions had mesh square panel sides, not solid square side panels. This one features the center stand holder as well. The only true indicator would be yellow paint, Allstate decals, mesh square side panels and possibly a model number from Sears (yet to be seen).

We need someone with a confirmed Allstate Sidekick to tell us exactly where. Usually on the frame and it would be somewhat obvious. You can see examples of model plates from other Sears Allstate brands here.

I just went out there and looked all over it and I can't find a tag or plate anywhere. It looks like mine was blue and then yellow and now red. It looks like it is all original. I assumed that because the bracket for the kickstand was different then the one on my other bike that it was an Allstate but maybe it is a Sidekick. It has the original Briggs with a flowjet carb.

 

[dirtbikeguy22]

I think we need someone with an actual obvious Allstate to see what they notice.

I always thought that the Sidekick only came in a couple of models. I never heard of a three wheeled one. I have never seen a sticker like that either.
