That's what I first thought but I think the Puddle Jumper has a swing arm. it's definitely a manco as far as I can tell.

Yes manco did build it and a similar design minicycle for sears, I think both were called puddlejumpers.

So does anyone have this Manco Brochure that they can scan so we can read it? I have seen posts in different threads calling both these mini's (black,top right. & yellow, bottom right) Sears "Puddle Jumpers". What did Manco call them?
