hands wheel?

[Dan-E-boy]

Anyone know what kind of wheel this is? looks like a hands wheel to me but with holes drilled through it and ribs on the lip.. just thought it looks cool and was wondering what it was..

Combination Hands Wheel/Go Power...:laugh:

Those grooves in the edge are cool whatever it is....does the rear match??

:laugh: that's funny u say that because when I first looked at the blurry single picture on the Craigslist ad, I thought they were the 5 inch go powers.. then I asked for closer pics.. here is the rear wheel..too bad its chipped.. the sprocket looks like Taco but with out that curved center area..

Cool! Think I've seen those wheels somewhere before. Lets see a pic of the whole bike. That rear axle mount looks odd.

Even the axle nut is cool......!!

I believe its a bug flea.not really into it myself. but like I said,it was the rims that caught my eye..

 

[SimpleTom]

Definately a Bug Flea. Just haven't figured out those wheels yet.

I was checking that bike out on craigslist since it was posted and the SOB would not send pics or reply. I should of called unstead of emailing I guess. I noticed the wheels in the ad but the pic was crappy. Good luck finding a match for the broken one. Look like 3/4 axel like you see on alot bug minis. Check on karts you will find what you are looking for.

Looks like the seller spray bomed the crap out of it. At least he took the wheels off.

Didn't buy it George, for that same reason(finding a good half looks to be a challenge). Just wanted to know what wheels they were because I like them.. maybe I will come across a good set in the future..

The wheel is an Azusa Feather-Torque. We have a set on our '58/59 Blitz kart.

Thanks for the info ScooterBoy:thumbsup: your kart looks amazing! Are the front rims the same but in 4 inch?

 

[ScooterBoy]

Yes...4" fronts on that kart, 5" rears. The '62 Steen's catalog showed them in 4,5, and 6"
