Thank God for Scat Cats , Without them a lot of people would not know what a mini bike looked like , lol or at least not know what to call a mini bike .

Never seen a Scat Cat like that before and I have a bunch of them , Never seen a Scat Cat with a seat like that either . 99% of original seats I have seen have had Small Engine Dis. printed on the back of the seat unless it has been recovered .

If it is a Scat Cat it will have Made In Taiwan stamped somewhere on the frame , most of mine are under the seat frame .

If it is a Scat Cat you will want to get rid of it to me because it will multiply quickly once you ride it , I know mine did .

Boy that is an odd one. Looks like widened Scat Cat/Grand Prix forks, the seat looks like a Speedway but from what I can see of the welds it doesnt look like a Frankin bike. Is the swing arm as wide as the forks? Do you have the rims?

I don't have a swingarm, but the front and rear wheels are the same width and the axles are the same as well. The wheels are the gold looking ones under the three wheeler gas tank on the floor in the first pic. About as wide as an old Big Red three wheeler.:shrug:

Okay, I still don't know what it is, but I spent some time going over it. It has no markings on it ANYWHERE as far as serial/vin, mfg. or any writing at all. One word on the steering stem bolt














The white fender is fiberglass. The black fender, I'm told, is an ABS mold for making more fenders. :shrug:

The seat pan is definately a Speedway tail light bike either 70 or 71, you either have a Frankin Bike or you may have a Speedway Big wheel prototype that may have never see the light of day. Can you get some better pic of where the fork neck meets the frame?

One thing troubles me though, the TC/JS mount and the motor mount are too close. How did they get a motor and drive line in there?

I'll get the picture for you tomorrow. I can't imagine what engine was supposed to go in this as it doesn't have a Briggs/Tec bolt pattern (at least not the ones I'm familiar with). I'll have to look closer, but it doesn't seem to ever have had an engine in it.

I think I'm gonna take it back to where I got it. I was hoping it was a common big wheel machine so I could get it fixed up quick and flip it. I've got enough projects for now.

Actually.. looking at the bottom corner where the motor mount and down tubes meet in the back... it's been welded there.. I mean why in the HELL would you EVER put a weld there? :confused: Plus the fact Harleys Papa pointed out....

Kinda maybe looking like a Widened out Speedway and a Terra Cat came together.. :shrug: Not everybody does a shitty job of Franken-Biking :shrug: Whos to say somebody didn't say DAMN this terracat drives like a lumber wagon, It needs some rear throw...

And went from there?...... :shrug:

I talked to the fella that I got it from, and he now says it was a Terra Cat that came with a 2-stroke on it.

@Papa, I really don't want to part it out, but if I end up taking it back to the guy I got it from, I'll point him in this direction.:thumbsup:
