YOUTHBIKE 2004
It's National YouthBike time again! This years competition took place over the weekend of the 3rd/4th July and we entered 3 bikes.
This
is the Sun Seeker, a Puch Maxi frame powered by a golf buggy
motor. The idea behind this ecologically sound machine is that you
ride to work in the morning using battery power and all through the
day the 4 solar panels charge up the battery ready for the trip home! |

Project Drag is based on last years Project Street but extensively modified. The, now traditional, Kawasaki GPz 305 features an 8" extended swingarm, a lengthened, horizontal subframe, extereme rear sets and cut off, straight through exhausts. No need for a large fuel tank so a small one is strapped beneath the subframe, this allows the rider to get low for that all important aerodynamic advantage. |

This is the Puchaha, so named because it has a Yamaha DT50 frame and a Puch Maxi engine. The Puchaha team had noticed a need in the project for an automatic bike which was the same size as a full size trail bike. This would help make the transition to learning gears a lot less daunting! |
