VenmoFor sale is a late-1940s motorized bicycle consisting of a Shelby-built Western Flyer balloon-tire bicycle fitted with a period Whizzer Model H motor kit. This is a historically plausible, period-style Whizzer installation and is being sold complete and as-is. I am not a motorcycle expert and no nothing more than what is listed in this listing.
