I couldn't find any identifying markings anywhere on the bike except for the carb which is a encarwi. It looks like some parts were made in Germany, so maybe its a German bike? Any help is appreciated!
Need help identifying minibike
Re: Need help identifying minibike
That reallllly looks like an italjet kitkat, but not quite. Almost looks like a Laura M48 motor but that clutch setup isn't typical for an M48
Re: Need help identifying minibike
Oh wow it does look very similar to a kitkat but don't think thats it. For the engine, the closest I think I got is it might be a batavus m48 engine.
Re: Need help identifying minibike
I think it is a kitkat where somebody changed the tank to make room for that basket and swapped the original engine for whatever that is.
There is a lot of unused brackets on that frame if you look closely.
Cool project to make it original again
Re: Need help identifying minibike
Woah that's crazy, definitely looks like an italjet swapped for an m48 with a lot of custom fab.

The seat post is different. So are the fenders, and the frame in general. At the very least it's definitely not a 1968-1969 KitKat
Re: Need help identifying minibike
There's a lot of weirdness going on, but I've owned a kit kat and that front end is absolutely 100% italjet. I'm in the kit-kat-with-lots-of-custom-fab camp on this one.
Re: Need help identifying minibike
The welding gives away that it was something modified at home and not the work of a manufacturer. The tabs all along the sides make me thing it had panels completely enclosing both sides of the frame.
Re: Need help identifying minibike
Yeah I don't know much about the italjet but that weird boat nose thing is super distinctive, seems like a dead give away.
Re: Need help identifying minibike
Yes there are side panels that go on each side. I seem to have lost the pictures so I'll see if I can get some more tomorrow .
