    Hello everyone, STRANGE MINI BIKE here is it British?

    thanks for the offer of getting it going, but after thinknig about it I can't ride it in the hills without feeling guilty so I bought a used beater bike that I can have fun with and am offering this up to someone who will take care of it.

    Hello everyone, STRANGE MINI BIKE here is it British?

    Thank You, thats why it looked strange....thank you all for helping me solve this . I do not think I am going to try to sit on the side car just because I would prbably be too heavy for it and fall off once we get it running.
