Hello everyone, I recently started to re-build a mini bike, that has been in my garage for ????? years. I have most of it compleated. I hope to add pictures, so that maybe someone can identify it. The only markings I found on it was the word "charger" on the back of the seat. There was no engine on it, just the frame. I do want to replace the band brake with a drum assembly. Any info on how to do this would be appreciated. Thanks, Franco.

Hey Franco,

Welcome to the forum. The "charger" on the back rings a bell for me, but not right now

Anyhow, post some pictures up and I'm sure we can help you identify what you have, and help you with any problems.
