Pedal Powered – 197x Evel Knievel Speedster

In 3 Wheels, America by AbhiLeave a Comment

This is a bit different than our usual fare but I really enjoyed it when commenter Rod M sent it over! Here’s one where you’ll have to rely on your own power versus horsepower.

I found a period advertisement where this was called the “hottest bike in town!” Said ad continues to say : “Low-slung chopper has deep-cleated front traction wheel. Chromed handlebars, simulated fuel tank. Contoured high-back seat for safety. 3-position nylon pedal drive.” It would get shipped to you for assembly and it would cost you $29.98!

The seller states that it “pedals perfectly,” the tires are good, and there’s no cracks in the plastic.

Find this “Speedster” in Brussels, Wisconsin for $500 here on Facebook Marketplace.
