    Not something that would ever kiss the pages of history. Not surprised it started as a vehicle for the Air borne. Would have made WWII and D-Day much more interesting.

    I had the remnants of one of these minibikes way back in the late 60's. Only the frame and front fender were original, everything else was either missing (ex.no brakes)or replaced. For $30, it got me around the neighborhood without pedaling. Along my old paper route there was a complete(?) original bike that was always kept inside someone's garage. It was eventually purchased by a neighbor, but I remember that the bike had some mechanical issues and didn't run right.

    My dad, George C. Fields, founder of Max Torque designed a torque converter in the early sixties and sold a few, I believe. The test mule for it was an original Doodlebug with a modified frame which dropped the rear of the frame and replaced the rectangular seat with a saddle. He called it the PDQ 40. My son has it now but it’s pretty much a basket of parts.

      You are absolutely correct, it was a Clinton 1 1/2 hp engine. I didn't catch my error since it was a spare of the moment interview. Jim Donovan / Max-Torque.
