anyone have one of these? Looks customizable...can't see the bike too well but the sidecar looks decent. Swap out the wheels with better ones, paint, mg etc

Side/car combo ( ? )

Isn't that the PTE bike? I haven't seen it in my area in person, but that's what it looks like from the picture.

I would say it is easily customizable. The side car looks perfect :wink:

this wasn't an ebay find, this was a question about a 1/18 scale item.

agreed Tman...i was thinking maybe i could graft a Maisto WWII Harley onto the (modified) sidecar. I"ve already made a Harley into a German solo bike, so should work just as well for a sidecar combo too. Fortunately, all motorcycles look pretty much the same to me, so the Harley works well (with some mods) as a BMW of the same era.

its a cool little piece i have a few, i bought from john as well, i think with some mod wheels or a swap of the bike to an older german one can work, some 24th scale model spoke wheels might be a good place for replacement wheels wthiout butchering another bike

I too have seen these on Evil bay too.
Yet I have also been foolish to take the plunge and win(buy) 3 different custom cycles with side car at a high price. But I look at it this as being a time saver so I can build my camp and modify my tanks and vehicles ;) Da General

It is a cool little bike i have a couple from John and they are in my to mod pile as Robopredator says the wheels aren't that great but with a few mods it would be a great piece!
