Big bear scrambler? What to do with it??

[Dave694]

Found this in a house clearance. I think it’s a big bear scrambler? Can anyone confirm? It’s been in some guys loft for a looooong time. Not sure what to do with it….really want to restore but want to do it sympathetically. I’m in the UK. Any advice?

That is actually a "Taco" mini bike. Its very cool, just start by cleaning, cleaning, cleaning, as It looks very complete and solid where you may not have to source too much which will probably be a little more difficult due to location.

That is a Steen's "Taco 55" minibike manufactured in Alhambra, CA (USA) around 1965-1966

Thanks very much for your note. Cleaning it is! Can’t wait to get it going!

You did see that he is in UK, right? Shipping might be horrible.
