    View my classic electric three wheeler




    Watt did you expect? I didn’t say a classic electric three wheel what, did I? It is a classic, if not an antique. I’ve had it for at least 25 years and it was probably that old when I bought it.
    Here are the specs:

    Make Clark
    Size 12” drum
    Weight 350 lbs.
    Sand paper 12” x 22” sheets, 16 to 150 grit
    Power 2 hp @ 1700 rpm
    Torque Unknown, but substantial.
    Electrical specs 240 V. 30 amp
    Range 100 feet from breaker box
    Acceleration 0-60 ft in 10 seconds
    Mileage Unknown, but it feels like I’ve put several hundred square miles on it myself!
    Old bikers never die, they're just out of sight!

    My recently re-built, hopped up '79 Special caught fire and burned everything from the top of the engine up: gas tank, wiring, seat, & melted my windshield all over the front of the bike. Just bought a 1980 Special that has been non oped for 9 years. My Skoot will rise from the ashes and be re named "The Phoenix!"
    I've been riding since 1959.

      Love the repair job on the cord. Looks like somebody sanded through it instead of the floor at some point.

        Wow, that looks like the exact vintage that we rented to sand our hardwood floors before we moved into our house back in 83'.
        Had a power cord that looked much like that as well.

            The scary part is that you recognize that image!
