This is a link to a Japanese webpage showing a fan club’s documentation into a surviving lucky-go motorbike.




The history of the lucky. Masuda iron works homepage the history of the lucky is what I’m trying to find. if it’s stored on the way back machine this would be fantastic! The lucky-go motorcycle uses a very very similar engine to my 1941 engine. Picture #3 for comparing the two engines.

Wow, 2.5-4,500hp from 89cc is incredible. If they would have beat us in WWII we would have had our flying cars by now!

Don’t you have the motor and gearbox for that bike, Partsguy?

Have you tried to use the gearbox on anything yet?
Not yet I made my own steel bearing side cover for it to support the output shaft. And have a c-sprocket on the output to run a chain.

One day I’ll find a mini bike frame to put it on. IMG_7245.jpegIMG_7249.jpeg

At this point, if the motorized bicycle style platform is legit, maybe try to re-create it? It’s basically an early H-D hard tail frame (the Silent Gray Fellow?) with top tube slanting all the way down to the rear axle. It would be neat to feel what it was like with those bigger spoked wheels and not with the typical small-wheel mini frame.

That's a really interesting piece of history. Hopefully someone here saved the page or has local copies of the photos and documentation. A lot of those old enthusiast sites disappear over time, so it's always worth asking in collector communities—you never know who has an offline archive
