10 Points to radio marty!

Yes it is from the ice cream bike, I was at first going to mod it as it was but when I got it back to my shock without motor seat or anything else needed it weighed a heavy 90kg!! once amotor was in etc it would prob be around 100-110kg, 40kg over the legal limit So then it hit me of a even better Idea

Will keep you all posted with progress!

[Benniz]

Hi Henrik

The wheel hub motor was not shelf/store bought, It was a one off custom build by a associate of mine who as of recently I have lost contact with I am trying to regain contact

Hi all just came across this check it out

[Benniz]

That is one of my favourite vehicles its called a Bond bug if your intrested, made by the same people who made the robin reliant, really rare as they came out when the first mini did and cost more so hardly any are around im pretty sure its only in the low thousands, They are REALLY quick too!! But I would love to get my hands on a dead one or chassis and electric convert it

[Benniz]

I'd def have a bond bug and also a peel P50 In my fantasy garage for sure

The Bond Bug is 40 years old this year ...

They do come up now and again on e bay also on the owners group you get the odd one for sale.
