Scwinn fender By ccprof (Read 711 times)

I'm posting this in the general thread. The lady 3 doors up is looking for a fender for a little Schwinn 125 - looks kind of like a Vespa. She needs for inspection. Her kid wiped it out. Does anybody know where to find one? We haven't had any luck here.

Spent lots of time searching on web - nothing certain found.

I think more description of the scooter is needed. Schwinn seems to have many scooters of many sizes. I would think the 125 and the 150 share many body parts but I found it hard to find any body parts. Be more specific.

If it looks a lot like Vespa then maybe a Vespa fender would work too. Measurements and visuals would be needed.

Sorry, but I am no help without more information.

I was looking on eBay for some info on that Schwinn and didn't find anything for you but I did find something for JR--JR,look at this ,a Cushman truck--never seen one before---and I will keep looking for the Schwinn--good luck

Cushman truck. Yes there were several versions of this 3 wheel thing. Some had lids on them. I believe I remember some to be ice cream vendor trucks. Lots of them around. A friend of mine had one that had a large box with a latched lid. And I think those ice cream vendor types were box on the front 3 wheel styles.

Those were the good old days when function had importance and sexy streamlined looks was second place. I have one of those sleek looking machines like the one Flintstone has on his post. I have wished more than once that it had those snap off side covers so servicing could be done without a near complete tear down. And how about a lift off floor board section? It is all for looks and not much for service.

now that you mention it bobf,some people are beginning to do their own modifications to these mc 250 b scoots,like to get to the spark plug,one guy ,on youtube,cut a hole just below the seat to reach the spark plug--and we already are cutting out the battery holder,as per JR.to adjust the intake valve---did it my \self--works good--and other shortcuts are needed too--happy trails,fflintstone
oh,pardon me ccprof,didn't mean to hijack your thread--still searching for schwinn parts as well

Try a Schwinn bicycle dealer. They might have something on the computer in the parts page.
