Dear Fellow Mini bikers- I have recently and way too frequently come across some EBAY sellers misrepresenting vintage Mini Bike parts as Rupp or Boonie Bikes etc. We have one dealer in Michigan selling frames and parts that are not Rupp, yet he clearly puts Rupp in the add title. He has multiple adds for multiple parts and insists on putting Rupp on each part title. I messaged him and asked him why he does this, he says everyone does it and he gets more money for the parts. There is another guy in Virginia selling 7 HP snow blower engines as a Rupp engine. RUPP NEVER SOLD MINI BIKES with a 7 HP engine on it. I worked at a Rupp dealership in Ma. from 70-74. I owned a Rupp Enduro as well as Boonie Bikes. (I have 2 1969 Boonie Bikes now). If you see these adds, please message the seller and ask him why he does this. And avoid buying from him at all costs. We all love to ride, I want newcomers to be able to enjoy this experience also. But getting screwed by some parts seller with no integrity might stop him from being able to ride. Help stop this ILLEGAL PRACTICE. Please do the right thing! Kroozer1
