Need Help ID’ing This One

[Demerest]

The guy I bought it from said he thinks it is a Manco, but not sure. I couldn’t find any Manco photos that were identical to this one. Are the footrests original? Did Manco ever incorporate a foot brake with a clutch brake? The motor obviously is not original. Any help would be appreciated.

I'm guessing it's a Manco streaker, here's one with the foot brake. The foot boards might have been added or maybe it's not a Manco.

Its a Manco 250, the boards scooter kickstand and foot brake are add-ons but the bike did come with clutch band brake originally.

Thanks for help identifying the old Manco. Do you know if the 4 inch wheels are original on this model?

well, that is what the add I posted above says and shows so I'll go out on limb and say yes, they came with 4" wheels. Your rear wheel looks to be the correct timeframe Mousehole style wheel. front is newer, both tires though do not appear to be something that was popularly used though so they were probably swapped out in the last 50 or so years.

Thanks again…should be able to get by with a 4.10-4 which seem a little more common? I just got done cutting the janky floorboards off.
