My Modified 1940's Simplex Servicycle

[mickeywhizzer]

Finally got my 1st Simplex Servicycle finished. I had it at the AACA Museum in Hershey, Pa last Saturday for the Vintage motorbike and motorcycle show. Lot's of people really liked it. It has a Honda 4 stroke 6 hp engine and I built the pulley system at the engine area. I used a Whizzer 26" sheave. Sounds really nice and goes about 45-48 mph. I'm using a Worksman 26" new drum brake wheel up front and a Wheelmaster front wheel on the rear. I have 4 others to build for myself. Simplex parts are available from Wayne (256-353-5552) down in Alabama. The front fender ornament is a repop of a Graham automobile hood ornament. Giddy up!!!!

That's one stout looking frame.

That's one stout looking frame.

All orignal 1940's frame with the crash bars welded on. U can find Simplex projects on FB Marketplace or Ebay. U gotta move fast on them if they are at a reasonable asking price. They are on the move upwards $$$$$$$ I now own 5 complete projects.

Beautiful she is, Yep' a Modern 4 stroke 6 hp engine is what she needed,

Hopefully you'll be able to restore another one of your Simplex with the original 2 stroke 125cc 3 hp engine and drive system

I love the old simplex cycles.

Yeah, they sure are cool
Back in the day, if the 2 stroke engine broke down many guys put the Whizzer engine in it

That was my vision. I'm very pleased with my 1st build. It sounds great with the throaty 4 stroke on it. Thank you.

Thank you for posting your beautiful motorbike. It has a character a person doesn’t see too much of these days.
