Mini with Folding Handle Bars! Please help identify.

[Glenn]

Hi Guys,
Here is a snap-shot of our Mini that we have had for more years than I can remember. Today my youngest son, now 22 and I decided to try and identify it.
So I'm turning to your expertise for help. If you need more information, let me know and I'll do what I can.
Thank You.


Please look at my Photo Album for the picture of the Mini-Bike. For some reason, there is no attachment area to be able to upload the picture anymore.

Hey glen, it looks like a Scat kat or one of it's imported brothers.

 

[ScooterBoy]

I'd say SKAT CAT also
SCAT CAT

There where about 4 kinds that came from Taiwan, some are hard to ID the exact model.

 

[Glenn]

What would be the names of the Imported brothers ?

 

[jimh]

Looks like a Scat Cat, but forward mounted pegs?? It's related though. Probably a model we haven't seen pictures of.

I have been searching, and this Grand Prix 'Special' appears to be exactly like mine.

Yes, that looks to be it. If you were in Australia, it would be called a Grass Grub. A few companies in Taiwan Made frames for different companies in different countries, and each named them something different.

 

[Glenn]

Any idea if a Clutch / Chain Cover is available?

 

[jimh]

You might try here in the parts wanted, with a picture of what you're looking for, or watch eBay forever. If you're any good with fiberglass, you could make one. If you're not set on the original, you should be able to find one that will work, since a lot of them just bolt to the engine.

here you go

Its a Grand Prix Standard. I have 1 but its the Deluxe model check all this out
And you can get a repo chain guard:thumbsup:

 

[mybiz]

look here Deckson, Deltek and Grand-Prix Mini Bikes

 

[george3]

Look at that sprocket on that red bike in the first link with the wire wheels, dam. Large pepperoni please.

 

[jimh]

I think Glenn hit it dead on with the Special. The Standard has a single backbone and single front downtube.

 

[Glenn]

It's defiantly not a STANDARD, as I put up the data and picture, it's the Special.

I'll just fabricate a cool clutch/chain gaurd here in the shop for it.

 

[mybiz]

It's defiantly not a STANDARD, as I put up the data and picture, it's the Special.
