Though mine was a worn out 1949 model that my Dad rescued from the town dump and restored to a semi-running state, this 1955 model is a virtual copy of the one we had.

I have news for you...pushing the Servi-cycle was a lot more exercise than pedaling any Moped. Guaranteed you were gonna have to push it any time you drove off on it.
