Is It worth it??

I was woundering if the asking price of $$150 would be wourth it for this doodlebug. View attachment 7309

i don't think that's a doodlebug. if it runs i'd probably pay $150 for it.

 

[gangway15]

yup it works good actually, then what type of mini bike is it?

 

[Strigoi]

i don't know. i suck at id'ing these things.

start looking around at minidoodle.com.

I think that's a Ruppman or Lil Indian ? That's a Vintage Mini for sure post a photo general minibike section .You'll get your answer in a matter of minutes ! I think that's a real good buy !

that is not a doodle bug, is a kind of a copie but 150 usd for the minibike is ok, you have there a 3.5 hp tec. seems like it runs, i would pay 150 for that microbike

Nope, it's a Rutman ! That's a Great vintage mini ! :thumbsup:

I say it is not a Ruttman . If you look close the 4 tubes are attached to the neck the same way . I the Ruttman the top tubes are like this but the bottom tubes are flattened first them welded to the neck. It is close but not a Ruttman but worth the $150.00 as it is.

yup i bought the bike and it was working goog then when it wpoldbe at top speed it would start to spudder and cut off at open trotel, so i changed the plug and cleaned the carb and it was still like it. Any sugestions

Steve you certainlly know alot more about Rutmans than I would . It's seems like it's a nice Vintage mini . What do you think it is ? I Minidoodled it and it looked like a Rutman Vulture ?
As for it running rough ? Check your pionts and make sure you have some good gas in it. The more it run's the better it will start running ! :thumbsup:
