Now this is something interesting! Nicholas Voigt took a 1978 Puch Maxi and let creativity and resourcefulness take over. Here’s how he describes it…
I built this bike around wanting to build a watercooled E50 motor. After getting a box of messed up cases from a friend and a used KTM 65 cylinder, I started to build the motor. Once the motor started to come together, I had acquired a bunch of frames and forks from someone that bought out a storage unit. Turns out it was another buddies discarded pile of parts. Once I had frame and forks picked out, everything came together. Almost everything came together from other peoples discarded crap, and that’s cool, it gives it some character. But for me, I wanted to put together a safe bike, and one that I can say that I built almost every part of.
The result is one of the neatest rat-bikes I’ve seen, and something that looks like it would be a blast to ride around town on! Great work Nicholas!
