I just found this and I have plans of converting it to all electric. I can't find any ID marks on it anywhere.

Dang- there's GOTTA be some kind of mfg mark/VIN somewhere, maybe not in the normal spots... see if the speedo or seat have any clues. On bicycles, often you'll see VINs stamped on the underside of the pedal crank casting area on the bottom. Keep looking, the clues should add up!

Bonus: It has inverted forks, schweeet!

Keep us posted on the mystery's progress! (Lord knows these QB threads are more fun than the proliferating poli/reli ones! Jonesing for more BIKE content!)

Not enough info, the outer pulley looks very reminiscent of a Mobylette/Motobecane/MBK model.

It's obviously not a fuel in frame type so that narrows things down quite a bit.

Got any hints to start detectoring from? anything on the seat? speedo? a frame number?
