did you know the originals had pedals to circumvent the 30mph restriction for learners?Grant wrote:Little Gold Fizzy in the back ground too there John

Jeff Uren made the Savage Cars in his company called "Race Proved".. he got all the credit for them.. but he merly copied everything from Mike and John Young of SuperSpeed... they were putting the Essex V6 in Cars before even ford did.. ie the Capri,. they also managed to slot them into the Escort Mk1's .. Nice pics John.. Thank you for sharing
Most bikes pedal setups would not work as the cranks and pedals were usually bent from a lack of rider talent and would not go round. I had an SS50 which had plastic pedals originally and I found it hard work keeping your feet on them in the rain, wonderful on a learner bike. We had a race once on pedals and the Puch Maxi was fastest. I could just about pedal my SS and balance it but the pedals being so far apart widthwise coupled with the low gearing made balancing difficult. The most memorable 12 months of my motoring life were spent on that moped.Krusty wrote:did you know the originals had pedals to circumvent the 30mph restriction for learners?Grant wrote:Little Gold Fizzy in the back ground too there John
I thought it was to get around the age 17 for motorbike limit. At age 16 you could ride a moped, defined as having pedals and maximum 49cc (or was it 50cc?). Without pedals it would be a motorbike. The Fizzy was good for 50mph or even close to 60mph downhill with a following wind hunched over the handlebars! There was others too, Fantic and Gilera spring to mind and much rivalry between fans of each.Krusty wrote:did you know the originals had pedals to circumvent the 30mph restriction for learners?Grant wrote:Little Gold Fizzy in the back ground too there John
