Another fun build we did, this time mini bike. This bike was an original Steens manufactured Taco Mini Bike we put a Westbend 700 engine in. This bike moves!
I had a Taco 22 in the late 60s with a west Bend motor but mine had a jack shaft I have a west Bend 700 engine I think I’ll buy a new Taco 22 frame to put the motor in
No doubt original frame, but what engine is that? I thought some had a two stroke Westbend, but I think those may have been the Taco 66? Not sure, it was so long ago.
Based on what evidence? Never gets close enough to see some of the frame details but I have an unrestored 67 as well as a restored 68 and this looks pretty genuine to me.
That's loud!
that's really bad ass
Me like!
Sounds cammed, sweet!
Lol. It's a 2 stroke.

Hi!
I am writing to you from Poland, or are you interested in selling this engine?
Can it 70 miles to gallon?

That one was a Westbend 700.
That is the new frame
