My older brother had one of those, and we talked mom into trying it out. Well being the mid 70's, she would have been in her mid 50's. We showed her how to do it, but she didn't raise her feet, the bike went forward, she held on which made it go faster, finally pulling her into a superman position going in crazy directions. And then mom crashed. She never wanted to try fun stuff again after that.
That’s so cool that your daughter is into riding bikes. I had a 71 Black Widow as a young teen, and it was one of the funnest years of my youth riding around with my friends. Everyone had some sort of mini bike then, with lots of trails to ride on where I grew up.
yes I remember the great times when I was a kid on the Honda trail 70. I'm glad she's into riding and not spending the whole day inside play on the computer like most kids these days.
Raymond, nice work on the Rupp. I am jealous of you. I have a 13 year old daughter that has at her disposal 2 mini bikes, an off road go kart and later in life, a 1982 BMW R65 airhead! She would rather sit in the house on the darn computer. I liked and subscribed and I am going to check out the rest of your contents site. It hope all is well with you, and the young lady and of course. the rest of the family. God bless and stay healthy.
Those old Rupps have a distinct smell of old gas and oil and I seems to take over the shed or garage it's weird .I got one when I was a kid a roadster . Does anyone know what im talking about.
It's a rupp roadster! Missing a headlight and taillight! Many a day on mine. I don't know it at the time, but it was a top of the line model for rupp! I think it is the only model that has a suspension on it.
Oh, how many burt legs from Mini Bikes and shorts...... Had a green Scrambler. Was a handful, I could never get the brakes to work much and it never wanted to stay still, clutch always engaged..... It tought me how to fix and ride, thats for sure. Awsum MB!
Putting together a Speedway green horn. One piece at a time. Wanted something to put my hot rodded hemi predator motor in. Forgot that Speedway made mini's as well as the Blue Max snowmobiles. The team at Speedway were old Rupp inployees want to build there own.
Why are you calling this an Italian minibike. This is a Rupp minibike produced in Mansfield Ohio. I owned a 1970 Rupp Roadster in.my teens,bitvwss one of the great joys of my childhood ! I know have another 1970 Rupp Roadster in.my garage I bought on eBay a few years ago that I plan on restoring and reliving my childhood ! What an Awesome minibike it is !
Exactly I had a 70 roadster and under the seat was a sticker Rupp Mansfield Ohio I actually gave it to my friend for his son he still has it .Mine originally was orange with a square headlight.
Tiny951 yes she love to ride her Harley Davidson m50s. I have a video of her driving it. on my channel. my daughter loves to ride bikes I didn't push her into. but I remember driving dirt bikes at her age.
That is NOT Italian. Rupp was was a US company based in Mansfield Ohio.
I thought he might have been kidding when he said Italian. It looks almost like the one I just posted on my channel
Brought back a lot of memories. Save my money the whole summer in 1971 and bought a brand new green scrambler. $279
Rupp Mini Bikes was not Italian as this guy keeps saying. It was made in Mansfield Ohio by a Company founded by Mickey Rupp
Rupp is a pump company that pumped out the New York subways furring a hurricane Mikey was his kid

Why do you call it an Italian Cycle? Was Rupp not made here in the USA ?
Mansfield Ohio. He thinks it's a Benelli for god's sake.
The Black Widow model did use an Italian carburetor, form Dell 'Orto.
Mansfield Ohio USA
Thats a US made Rupp Scrambler (mag wheels), I think🧐
I had one too and it's American

Nice video. Looks like the little Rupp mini bike that I just posted on my channel. She did a great job test driving it
thanks she had fun with it. until I had to return it.
Got a used one in ‘79. Had a lot of fun on that thing. She almost looks too big already though.

Hey sorry your right I know nothing about the bike. I was just fixing it for a friend of mine it just sound Italian to me. lol
Exactly I had a 70 roadster and under the seat was a sticker Rupp Mansfield Ohio I actually gave it to my friend for his son he still has it .Mine originally was orange with a square headlight.
He's not the owner of the bike - it belongs to a friend. So he may not know the background of the maker.
That thing is quick
