1949 Bremer Mini-Scoot
Frame no. 2122

The Bremer Mini-Scoot's were built in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. With very distinctive styling, utilizing a cast aluminum design. These scooters have the ability to fold their handlebars for more compact transport. Using common Briggs and Stratton engines also allowed for infinite reliability and ease of maintenance. Using a V-belt drive it borrows from some other designs from the era. The Bremer's signature quirk is its "Gas" and "Brake" pedals, much like an automobile, opposed to more conventional motorcycle controls.

Finished in its distinctive red paint, this Bremer appears to be mid-restoration and extremely tidy. With its "two-up" seating arrangement its enjoyment can be shared. In need of recommissioning this presents an exciting restoration opportunity.
