Well funny things they are starting to breed :P.. Its my 2nd fully complete but fully Road going FHI Rabbit (The ORIGINAL SUBARU SCOOTER)


FHI 1965 S102 FUJI RABBIT SCOOTER

MODEL: S102
YEAR:1965?
ENGINE: 48CC 2 stroke single cylinder
GEARBOX: 3 SPEED
ELECTRICAL: 12 Volts with electric START ;D

A little bit of History....
These where sold here as a Victa Scooter. It was imported into NZ in 1960s by J Cameron Lewis & Co., LTD and made up from CKD units, Reassembled in Chch.
They where stored and made up.. Im not sure if this one was imported in 1960 or in a later date?

This one I got was restored about 12 plus years ago. It still runs and when the weather is good it starts on 1st pop.

Granted , but the idea of treating it as collectable is not.

subbieat, is the scooter of interest because it is associated with Subaru, or do you have an interested in scooters in general? I understand they now have quite a following and there are several clubs involved.

I recall some 50 years ago, purchasing a Mikoletta for my Company's junior to use for messages and getting about. It was really a step through electric start motorcycle, with 14 inch wheels and really went. The engine was a single cylinder 277 cc piston port 2-stroke and it was capable of 80 MPH. The electric starting system was interesting and rocked the crank rather than rotating it. I had a lot of fun testing what was my new commercial vehicle.

Thanks for sharing, Trevor.
