Default Re: OLD MINI BIKE



I'm really enjoying this thread, being older than most of you, as a kid in the mid fifties I had a little scooter that was called a Doodle Bug, this was before the name "minie bike" was coined. These little Doodle Bugs are very pricey now, if you can find one. They are being reproduced at around 3K which is much cheaper than a restored original. The original scooter that I had was like the one in the photo that I attached except mine was black. They had Clinton engines and would run about 25 MPH. They were sold at Western Auto Stores. After the Doodle Bug I moved up to a Cushman scooter which I still have a couple of those today.
