Ultimate Vintage Motorbike

Published by Cyril Huze October 29th, 2008 in Builders, Customs and Editorial.

I am fond of the beach cruiser look and of white wall tires.  So, logically, at 1st glance I fell in love with this vintage motorbike by Ridley Motorcycles. It’s a small engine powered (49 or 70 cc) bicycle featuring the old-time look in a 1-piece tank frame (steel or aluminum), oversized 26” wheels, fender-mounted front & rear license plate, and incorporating all the small details to make it a vintage treasure. The base model with the 49 cc engine is capable of 24 miles per hour and nearly 120 miles per gallon. If you feel like doing zero-emission propulsion, you can still pedal as long as you want.  MSRP starting at $1,999.00. Other models available at Ridley Motorcycles

    This is not a good factory to buy from, bought a bike from them a few years back and they wouldn’t help me with my warranty issue.. I don’t think there are any warranties on these bikes. Buyers beware

    I wonder why Ridley will not install the motor themselves. The dealer must purchase the bike and the motor separately and then do the install. Sounds like product liability to me.

    I’ve delt with this company before and they didn’t honor their warranty like they boasted!! Buyers beware.
