I live and was raised in Mansfield, Ohio.... i remember wanting one of these sooo bad... and i still do!... i still think about Rupp mini bike's, whenever i drive by the area of the old factory.
I remember, as a Kid, everyone was making these. Rupp, Arctic kat , just Aton of them. Those little suckers would haul @$$! Many an adult found themselves on their butt when that converter kicked in! Almost any motorcycle or lawnmower shop had some brand sitting there. Wild colors, huge metal flake. They were way more bike than the old no suspension centrifugal clutch mini bikes. Mine was a Rupp roadster, metal flake green. The little Honda mini trail and kawasakis and such killed them off though.
Rupp should have used Briggs engines! Those Tecumsehs never ran right. Most Rupps in my town were always sitting in the garage with “engine issues”. All of us with Briggs powered bikes or Hondas had all the fun riding👍
Sorry, It was SOLD a long time ago. I sold all of my minibikes as I was getting out of the sport. I have a lot of new and used parts I would sell though. Email me dstolarc@yahoo.com if interested.

Hold down both buttons together on the tachometer after you are done using it. It will shut off.
Thank you
