Vintage Whizzer bike being run for first time in decades.

I assembled a Whizzer bike by using a Columbia bicycle and a Whizzer H engine, both from the mid 40s. After spending months off and on, working on the project, I forgot to secure the Bendix brake arm, which let to a funny stop and almost crash. I am now planning on doing some more restoration on the bike.

God bless you both!! Keep them classics running, I intend to do the same when I finish my 53' Simplex Servicycle.

Thanks. Let me know when you finish it. I would love to see the video.

I wish I had one of those vintage Whizzer/Schwinn bikes.

I assembled mine from parts. The bicycle is a 40s vintage Columbia bike and the engine is a 40s vintage Whizzer H engine.

Thanks. I wish I had put my wife in the video. She was teasing me in good fun. Since the video, I have finished the restoration, and will probably make another video this spring.

Excellent work on that bike! It's good to see an old motor working again. Truly inspirational, despite the camera person's uncertainty! LOL!

Great video. At least your wife has a sense of humor. Whizzers can be frustrating.

I just built an 80cc beach cruiser, but I want to buy one of these. nice bike.

This video made my day! I started to get a Whizzer but opted for a larger motorcycle, which I do love. But the Whizzer is a charmer and this makes me want one again!  Big thumbs up to you. Be safe, and have fun!
