UP FOR SALE IS A VERY RARE SCOOTER THAT WAS DESIGNED TO BE SMALL, OMPACT, ORTABLE AND STREET LEGAL. VALMOBILE WAS DESIGNED FOR CARRYING IN AIRPLANES, V'S AND BOATS. IN FACT THIS VALMOBILE WAS USED IN THE US BUT WAS PURCHASED NEW BY A BUSINESSMAN THAT TRAVELED TO MANY ISLANDS IN THE BAHAMAS TO BE USED FOR TRANSPORTATION WHILE THERE.
IT IS A MIGHTY LITTLE SCOOTER CAPABLE OF CARRYING 2 PEOPLE UP TO 500 POUNDS. IT CAN TRAVEL IN EXCESS OF 35 MPH. IT IS SMALL AND BREAKS DOWN IN SECONDS TO THE SIZE OF A SUITCASE THUS THE NAME "SUITCASE SCOOTER"'
THIS SCOOTER IS TITLED IN FLORIDA AND WHEN INSPECTIONS WERE REQUIRED, AS INSPECTED AND STILL RETAINS ITS 1982 FLORIDA INSPECTION STICKER. I BELIEVE MOST VALMOBILES WERE PRODUCED WITHOUT A BRAKE LIGHT BUT THIS IS AN UPGRADED VERSION THAT USES A 4 D CELL BATTERY PACK AS POWER FOR THE BRAKE LIGHT ONLY. IT RUNS GREAT AND THE HEADLIGHT,TAIL LIGHT, RAKE LIGHT, ORN, TC ALL WORK. THE TIRES LOOK GREAT AND ARE NOT DRY ROTTED. IT WILL RUN ABOUT 35 MILE PER HOUR. THE LIGHTS WORK OFF THE MAGNETO . THE SUSPENSION BANDS ARE NEW AND WERE PURCHASED FROM ENGLAND. I HAVE KEPT IT IN THE BED OF OUR 49 CHEVY AND REGULARLY TAKE IT OUT AND RIDE IT AT CAR SHOWS.
I HAD A NEW SEAT MADE FOR IT BUT ALSO HAVE THE ORIGINAL SEAT WHICH HAS A SMALL TWO INCH TEAR.
I WAS GOING TO REPAINT IT BUT IT IS TOO GOOD TO RESTORE. IT IS ONLY ORIGINAL ONCE
NOT ONLY IS THE SCOOTER RARE, DOUBT YOU WILL EVER SEE ANOTHER THAT HAS A COPY OF ITS ORIGINAL MSO AND OTHER ORIGINAL PAPERWORK!! ALSO, HAVE A COPY OF THE ORIGINAL TITLE AND OWNER HISTORY SINCE NEW. NEXT, HAVE THE ORIGINAL INSTRUCTION AND SERVICE MANUAL. INCLUDED WILL BE THE EARLY REGISTRATIONS AND EVEN AN UNUSED 1985 TAG DECAL.
NOW THE LAST THING THAT WILL BE INCLUDED IS LIKELY THE RAREST ORIGINAL OPTION THAT MOST HAVE LIKELY NOT EVEN HEARD OF. I HAVE SEEN IT MENTIONED IN ONLY ONE BROCHURE. INCLUDED IN THE SALE WILL BE THE VALMOBILE SADDLEBAGS. I HAVE NEVER SEEN OR HEARD OF ANOTHER SET.
I ALSO HAVE THE OCCO SPECIALTIES DIRECTIONS ON HOW TO MAKE THE VALMOBILE EVEN SMALLER TO A COMPACT SIZE OF 25 1/2 LONG BY 19 1/4 HIGH AND 12 INCHES WIDE
SO IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A VALMOBILE FOLD UP SCOOTER WITH ALL THE DOCUMENTATION, HIS IS LIKELY THE LAST TIME YOU HAVE A CHANCE TO PURCHASE ONE. IT CAN BE SEEN IN ORLANDO, L. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, LEASE CALL BOB AT 828-393-7219
NOTE: I HAVE NOW ADDED A COUPLE OF PICTURES OF THE SADDLE BAGS. THEY ARE MADE OUT OF A CANVAS LIKE MATERIAL IN LIKE A CAMO MATERIAL WITH FLAPS HELD DOWN WITH VELCRO. THEY ARE IN GOOD CONDITION EXCEPT FOR ONE PENCIL ERASER SIZE HOLE. SINCE I HAVE NEVER SEEN A SET, AM JUST GOING TO SAY THEY CAME FROM THE ORIGINAL OWNER AND I DON'T KNOW IF HE HAD THEM MADE OR IF HE BOUGHT THEM FROM OCCO, HE DISTRIBUTOR OF THE VALMOBILE. THEY ARE CERTAINLY MENTIONED AS AN OPTION IN AT LEAST ONE ARTICLE. IF YOU HAVE EVER SEEN A KNOWN ORIGINAL SET, ET ME KNOW YOUR THOUGHTS ON THESE..
