Someone needs to buy this.
I'll look into this and pay it forward if it comes to fruition. Located in NJ about an hour from home. I can get it today or tommorow. Anyone have any info on this one?

I couldn't find too much info. It's a pretty cool bike but more of a conversation piece I think. The 2WD system seems to have added a lot of drag and the bike wasn't very high quality.

I would easily give $50 just for the novelty.
As for the bike, however, it looks like the system would add a lot of drag and wouldn't serve any purpose.

holy smokes, I'm in CT and if I did not just have my knee operated on I'd be on my way to get that. That's a huge pile of want.
What happened to the “bike man for you”? I learned a lot of the basics watching his videos. They are great!
It's everything you think it is; twice as fast and half the effort!
Looks to be 100% complete, hardly ridden and 100% original and stored well.

Yeah, I did. It's in the shop. Difficult to ride but would love to try it in the snow or mud. (difficult as there is indeed a lot of what feels like drag). Would be so much better if the front wheel drive could be engaged and disengaged with a locking hub type interface- possible mod for sure). Wife says keep it and I'm not sure what to do with it except maybe become a benefactor at a bicycle museum, insure it as priceless and retire.
It could also become a bicycle powered Dremel or drill.
Need to research this oddity a bit more, however, I may post it for trade or for sale as I would rather be in a more desirable situation such as noted herein:
Very cool! I agree, it should be kept original. Probably not real good for a daily rider but an awesome conversation piece for the shop.
I love your klunker! It’s got some great elements going on already.

Yeah, not mine but a direction I want to go. The frame and wheel set is listed in Brooklyn for $350.00 and I love the look too, definitely a source of inspiration!
