1967 Velorex

[DAVID BROWER]

THE "350" IS THE JAWA ENGINE SIZE , A 350cc TWO CYLINDER 2 STROKE .
THE FABRIC COVERED ONES CAN REALLY SCOOT WITH THAT MOTOR .

LOOKS LIKE THE HOBA WAS A REGULARLY PRODUCED MODEL FROM 1968-78 !

Just saw this on ebay. Now you too can have your very own 1969 Velorex 16/250.

I like this from the description "With its canvas panels removed, the three-wheeler resembles a rolling bird cage.With its Jawa two-stroke, two-cylinder 350cc engine and a four-speed sequential manual transmission, the Velorex has a cruising speed of 37 miles per hour and a maximum speed of 53 mph. It weights 683 pounds unladen and has a maximum weight limit of 1,102 pounds.”

Top speed of 53mph!! Wow!

I like the fenders. Maybe a style for ELIO

 

[W. WIllie]

Those fenders probably catch a lot of air and create a lot of drag/load.
Not in the ELIO spirit.

Kinda like the top speed of the Cree Sam.

THE VELOREX WAS IN PRODUCTION FOR MANY YEARS .
SIMILAR PERFORMANCE FOR THE ISETTA .

THIS ONE WITH A HONDA MOTOR LOOKS LIKE SOME GREAT FUN :
