Tecumseh is an American company that had a factory in the USA and Italy, the Italian ones (geotec model) was a better price than the USA made one and had a vertical cylinder instead of a slanted one, but they used mostly the same parts so all the US hot up parts fitted. Used to have the site www.nzminibikes.co.nz (http://www.nzminibikes.co.nz) Options were: 3.5, 5, 6.5hp, clutch or CVT gearbox, alloy wheels, wide front or rear wheels/tyres (front needed option forks), front brakes, lights, knobbly tyres, custom colours. Std colours were red, blue, silver. Brings back some memories...... The brochures were folded down to DLE size if you are wondering why it looks odd [Click image for larger version Name: ImageUploadedByTapatalk1376307824.110015.jpg Views: 125 Size: 113.5 KB ID: 61012] (http://www.calaisturbo.com.au/attachment.php?attachmentid=61012&d=1376307854) [Click image for larger version Name: ImageUploadedByTapatalk1376307872.801170.jpg Views: 122 Size: 75.8 KB ID: 61013] (http://www.calaisturbo.com.au/attachment.php?attachmentid=61013&d=1376307873) [Click image for larger version Name: ImageUploadedByTapatalk1376307900.955264.jpg Views: 120 Size: 36.8 KB ID: 61014] (http://www.calaisturbo.com.au/attachment.php?attachmentid=61014&d=1376307949)

the race car looks so epic. any more information on the engine setup and when itll be hitting the track ?

Well I guess with all those options being available, that mine was pretty basic You mention them being able to have lights...Would this mean they could be registered for road use? Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

We didn't have indicators, but there is no reason why not I suppose..... When did you buy then sell yours? Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Sold it in June 2009 according to the time stamp on those pictures, probably had it for less than a year. Only reason I got rid of it was because I just started getting the VL bug and needed the $$$ for them. Now Ive got the bug to get another Bike haha I can picture myself cruising around on a Trike....Hint Hint Haha Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
