powderbrake Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 I had a Berkeley, a small fiberglass roadster with a 500cc 3 cylinder Excelsior motorcycle engine. It only weighed 700 pounds, so when I drove it into my 1 car garage, I picked up the back end ( front wheel drive), and set it to the side so I could get my Corvair in there, along with my Honda scrambler and my lawnmower.

Hank Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 Read it this a.m. I loved the car w/no reverse so it had a handle on the back!(are you paying attention Busa engined se7ers:)?). I would think most Busa-engined se7ens come with a reverse box. I know mine did. Of course, to reduce weight in my Megabusa I removed it along with the linkages for it. Took 35 lb out! Although the handle sounds cute I just use the rollcage as leverage. :cheers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gjslutz Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 My 750 Honda powered golf cart didn't have rerverse either. With the live axle rear, I had to make larger turns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snookwheel Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 My 750 Honda powered golf cart didn't have rerverse either. With the live axle rear, I had to make larger turns. That would be some pictures / Video's I would really like to see! :driving: Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderbrake Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 One of the interesting features of the Berkeley was that it had a two cycle engine, and for reverse, you turned off the engine, toggled a switch to the starter, and restarted in reverse. Four speeds in reverse too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
