Why buy a Volkswagen?....................................... .......................
It makes your house look bigger.

Oh yeah up the VW microbus was actually considered a station wagon by the Folks at VWAG.

The Type 2 actually had two classes the Transporter and the bus
busses were people carriers and Transporter's (Which included panel vans, High roofs ,single cab pickups and double cabs) were for cargo (interestingly many people carriers left Hanover with Transporter badges). Yet another interesting fact VW produced the first three and four door extended cab light trucks and the first minivan both of which Chrysler claims credit for even though the caravan was over 30 years late and regular production Dodge light pickups didn't get extra doors until 40 years after the first three and four door units rolled out of Hanover.

Sorry got carried away there....couldn't help myself...... I loooooovvvvvve old (aircooled) VW's all models all years! It's all Buffy's fault!!

Hey Distrubd, any house would look ginormous next to a Peel P50... Hell, a cardboard box would look like a mansion next to it :P

Pretty cool! Looks kinda lika a BMW Isetta.....only spunkier...boxy things rule! Shame they're probably not road legal here....and probably expensive to obtain.


BTW. that was an actual VW Type 1 advert slogan.

not highway legal in the states, but you can use it on the back roads, it uses a 50cc scooter motor, you don't even need a license to drive it :P

They only made about a 100 Peels, and only about 40 sport model Peels, you can get kits to build them, the kit is about 1500 pounds for just the body, or about 9000 pounds for a full kit (partly assembled)

though if it was me, i would use a honda 50 cc dirtbike motor, throw a big boar kit, pistons, rods and everything that comes with that, header, performance carb, intake and an after market exhaust can (bend the pipe depending on how the motor mounts), to get it to about 90cc, pusing like 10-12HP, grab a bike gear box, use the clutch kit available for the gear boxes to rig up the clutch, lastly, i'll need to modify the box to have a reverse though...

That's GOT to be a typo!!!!!

Here in Pa. you have to have a liscence for all motor-vehicles. There is supposed to be an exception for "off road vehicles used occasionaly on road" But my run-ins with state troopers with my dirt bikes proves otherwise (the first time they suspended the DL that I didn't even have yet for six months, then charged me $600 for towing and storage, followed by $2000 in fines!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I wasn't even riding at the bike the time (fearing getting into trouble I was pushing it over to a friends to ride on their trails. The determining factor... key was in the ignition.)

For all that effort you may as well use a 110 or 125cc Quad motor! Their cheap, readily available, and some already have reverse... I'm guessing you're not too familiar with small displacement motorcycles (750cc and smaller) (no shame in that) to be honest I've never seen seperate gearboxes on anything but mini-bikes (the briggs powered type).

[alexander]

i am, actually, worked on street bikes, ATVs, dirt bikes, jet skis and snow mobiles for 4 years, back in high school, they certainly come as a single piece, must have missworded that... Even the Busa and zx-14, today are all single casing for motor and gearbox, it's like a de-facto standard, you save a lot of weight and trouble, and as a matter a fact, i don't think that they have made a bike with a separate gear box on a bike (street bike, mainly) since, if i had to guess, the early 80s, i mean the first unit-constructed bike engine happened back in the 50s, if my memory serves me right...

i should have said, that i'd open up the transmission to throw in a clutch kit, and modify the trany to have 4 gears, one of which will have to work as reverse.

You could take a 125 or 150CC quad motor, but, you don't get the satisfaction of saying that you are running a 50 motor in the car, they are also a lot bigger (space and weight-wise), which is a minus in this case, when you are trying to fit the engine into a tiny body behind the driver.

key was in the ignition

Yep, that's what it boils down to, but that's an example of cop being a dick, though, same thing with cell phones here (here in CT you can not hold the phone next to your ear and drive). Did you contend that? because that is just messed up, you can register ATVs and drive them on the street, but you can't walk your bike? Key in ignition would be merely a convenience (though i dunno the whole story)

And, you are in PA, shoot, 4 hours and i'm there, and i can visit Hell on the way over.

[DFINITLYDISTRUBD]

4 hours and i'm there, and i can visit Hell on the way over.

Hell's about 5 or 6 hours to the south east of here. I live near Erie in a small town named North East (which Ironicly is in the north west most portion of the state!)

Secondly I hope I didn't offend...some of us know the ins and outs of moto-mechanicals some don't...Obviously I was mistaken in my impression from your post (sorry bout that)...As far as bikes are concerned some Indian and Harley based bikes still get a separate box but they're the only ones I know of (but some of them have one piece units too).

you save a lot of weight and trouble

Until you gotta split the case! (worse when you're trying to put it back together!)

You could shoe-horn in an old 100cc paralel twin from a Yamie (I loooooove old Yamaha two-strokes) and really have yourself one heck of a sportster type version And they're really tiny. Honda had their own version with an automatic in the '70s (with reverse no less!! WTF do you need reverse for on such a tiny bike!!!!)

Did you contend that? because that is just messed up, you can register ATVs and drive them on the street, but you can't walk your bike? Key in ignition would be merely a convenience (though i dunno the whole story)

I tried...no dice...yes it was a convenience type thing, I being the type that perpetually loses things, it lived in the ignition at ALL times (so it wouldn't get lost I stored it in the seat lock after that mess though)

(here in CT you can not hold the phone next to your ear and drive).

NY and PA are supposed to be that way but it doesn't seem to be enforced.

Oh yeah the judge that nailed me is doing time for misconduct over a few similar cases a few years back. SERVES HIM RIGHT!!!! misrable sob!
