Cool, it has a connie! I thought it was a clinton from the original Pic. We ran them on our 1/4 midgets. Is it not a Flea?

I still say it's a Flea. A 1961 or 1962. The frame has the little joggle in it by the motor plate, the seat,forks and wheels are Flea. They came with running boards,but I can't find a pic of one right now. They also came with a bunch of different engine combo's.

That is definitely a Flea! Not sure of the model. Could be an early Super Flea. Mine was about a "67 w/a teardrop tank but there are many similarities. Awesome find! am jealous.

It be a Flea/superflea here is a different 1965 superflea but Notice the rack and engine. Yours is probably a year or two earlier. VERY cool find!

It is a 63' Flea "Trail Scout." They came with a Clinton 4 cycle engine or without engine. It had that double sprocket so you can gear it high for the flats and switch to low for the hills. Looks like it has the optional rack. I have one too that I got from a member on here, except mine has the disc brake on the jackshaft. I also have the fiberglass chain guard and fenders. Id like to find someone who works with fiberglass to remake a set or two.

It would be hard to say exactly what year it was unless it had a serial number on it that verified what year it was. People have changed alot of things on minibikes over the years and brochures are not accurate,that has been proven on the Taco and the Bonanza brochures.

In my opinion this is hands down the best find in a long time here on OldMiniBikes. Especially the fact that it was found on the east coast.:drool:

I can imagine this bike in Oregon, but not here. I told Rich that someone must have brought it along when they moved?
Super, Super Bike...:punk:
