Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    The engine goes around, has good compression and spark, but won't start when you let off of the tiny handle. The ignition coil, according to the owner, has to be replaced or rewound.

  • Exterior condition:

    As most were at the time, it was simply black paintowrk and basicly equipped. The tank has a small dent.

  • General condition:

    This will be a cool and entertaining 1930s bike to ride with a little ignition work.

Facts about the model

Nittioåttakubikaren var också ett fordon som var mycket mer än bara ett praktiskt transportmedel. En lättviktare var också frihet. Tack vare den blev det möjligt för vanligt folk att resa och verkligen dra nytta av den semesterlag - två veckors obligatorisk semester - som infördes 1938.

En vanlig cykelram med breda ballongdäck, på med ett motorpaket på högst 98 cc inklusive bensintank från exempelvis tyska Sachs, ILO eller svenska Husqvarna. Dessutom ett växelhandtag, ett handtag som liknade en pinne att gasa med, ett annat handtag för kopplingen och ett så kallad pyshandtag - egentligen ett dekompressionshandtag. Bromsa gjorde man på de tidiga modellerna med tramporna, på samma sätt som en vanlig cykel. Och i tuffa backar och vid motorhaverier gick det att ta hjälp av tramporna. Hela konceptet var enkelt och flärdfritt. Det krävdes inga större kunskaper för att börja tillverka lättviktare. I slutet av 1930-talet fanns det 75 000 lättviktare i landet.

  • During the auction days information about a vehicle may be updated up to the day before the auction ends. When you bid at the end of the auction period - and also if you have made an earlier bid - we therefore ask you to read the descriptions carefully, in case something has been changed due to new information.
