@kellylovinglife great rare vehicle to own! the girl in the video now has her own GoJoe so we had two of them out there the following year. I have a video of a Rupp Trucker up too. long live the classic Rupps!
shame that to restore or buy any rupp these days one would have to 2nd mortgage their house its pitifull how a hobby as such has become a hellish monopoly youve even got geniuses blowing prices way out of proportion on ebay that are just mere project bikes that require a small fortune to restore but those who can God Bless them 2 or 3 grand for a rupp?? thats sick 3 to 500 for basket cases is even worse craigslist or swapmets the way to go
shame that to restore or even buy one of these or a rupp minibike you need to take a second mortgage out on your house or donate body organs , a small group of people have monopolized it
my dad found his old rupp go-joe in storage and gave it to me. I'm working on restoring it and hopefully will be riding it by the summer time. I already bought racing gear helmet paint and the parts for it. When it's completed I will post the video.
Hi buddy, thanks! I'll have the owner answer this 'cause I can't. He's the guy with the red cap in the vid. I'll say this, that machine ALWAYS attracts lots of attention when we're at events.
Ive got a1969 rupp go-joe just like this one,the one your seeing is a 8hp model mine is a 18hp,i cant wait to get it going,great video

Nice go-joe. My brothers and myself had one as kids back in the seventies. We had the 295cc variety. Lots of fun on that thing back in the day.

That's great Keith, I have never seen one in action. Would you happen to know the top end speed on those? And what Horse Power?
