Unknown Scooter make

[foreda]

Ok guys n girls... Anyone ever see one of these before. I have search the world over and nada!! I am trying to find the manufacturer of this scooter and the value. I bought this thing a few years ago at an estate sale in Dallas. When I got it, it looked as if it was never ridden. My son and grandson got it running and scoot around terrorizing the neighborhood ..It's actually pretty fast although it's uglier than my first mother-in-law!! If someone knows what brand it is please let me know. Dale

Hi Dale,
I dunno neither but ever neat! What I would suggest is get all the info you can from the engine ID plate and check with the engine mfr, they might know who they sold it to.

Greetings Fred
I was able to date the motor to the early 80's but that's about it. It is a pretty cool piece though. Here I have all these nice vintage bikes in my shop and when my visitors see this scooter they freak!! Go figure?? Someone did offer me $50 for it which I politely refused. I reckon it will remain a conversation piece in my shop.. It is kinda fun watching my 37 and 20 year old son and grandson hall ass down the road on this thing!!

It is a VERY cool piece!
I tried looking this morning to see if I could find anything... but to no avail.
Looking forward to finding out what it is...

I may be wrong but I believe this to be a very rare early edition of the little known Alphonso di Credenza. Originally designed by Giuseppi Gredenza in 1927 and based on drawings attributed to Leonardo da Vinci. Like I said, I could be wrong.

Hmm, Alphonso di Credenza, wasn't he also the inventor of the muffler bearing?

The very same gentleman. He also holds patents on the regurgitating internal frazzmit and the ambehilical hex nut.

Hi Barrelguy,
right, you are wrong. It's rolling chassis is from a superbly repainted 1934 Spagthorpe Sidewalk Squirrel. Although the Squirrel's original compressed air engine gave it the necessary silent running ability it's range was severely limited by the frame tube air reservoir's low bursting pressure.
The model in the photo has been retrofitted with a small internal combustion engine.

Hi Dale,
your son was an early bloomer, eh? When I was 17 I still thought it was for stirring my tea with.

A very well made lookin piece... Looks like it was made way before the scooter craze. Looks so cool, makes me want one.
