Anyone heard of Victor scooters?
 
1 Attachment(s)
I recently purchased a storage unit.
In it was a 50cc 2t scooter.
The frame is bare...only motor,wheels,etc.
I took it home and,after a thorough carburetor cleaning,got it started.
After airing up the tires,I took it for a spin.
She is quite fast!
The only identification,is the word Victor, molded into the cvt cover.
I have been unable to find any information on these scooters.
I figure,one of you may have some information.
Anything will be helpful,as, now, I have nothing to go on.
Thanks.

Somewhere on the frame there has to be a VIN number. What does it start with? It looks European.

The only thing I was able to come up with, is a company called Victor-Reinz which is part of the Dana conglomerate. Apparently, the Victor corporation was a large supplier of automotive gaskets in the USA, and was merged with Reinz (from Germany). No data on what they did that might have put their name on the side of a bike, though.

have you found any engine numbers? casting numbers?

I found a.number on the lower case, near the brake drum. It is ...VFL-57479. That's it...no other identification of a.y kind. Weird!

No vin# on the frame probably means it was never meant for sale in the USA.

That thought occured to me,as well.
Possibly some sort of prototype that never came to fruition.
