In 2019 Brent Walter gave life to the Volkspodthe minibike inspired by the VW Beetle on which this is based Fusconeta Custom Mini Bike 2024 that we show you today. Then Walter used a body developed from the fender of the legendary German utility vehicle and embedded both the front headlight and the taillight into it.
It is clear that a priori this may be heresy for lovers of the classic Beetle, so the founders of the brand Fusconeta They have kept the concept unchanged without having to dismantle any specimen of the Bavarian model. To do this, they have recreated the same shape of the fender, but this time they have used GRP for its manufacture.
For those who do not know it, the “Glass Reinforced Plastic”, “It is a composite material, formed by a plastic or resin matrix reinforced with glass fibers. It is not unusual to informally refer to this material simply as fiberglass.”. The aesthetic result is the same as that offered by Walter's Volkspod, but much simpler and cheaper to make.
Maybe that's why Fusconeta Custom Mini Bike It may be produced in series if the two initial examples that will be auctioned next July 11 at Mecum Auctions are well received by the public. The idea is to have a minibike that is visually cool and full of personality, but also efficient enough for everyday use.
