I bought this 1970 ElTigre mini-bike from a friend of mine. These were alot of fun back in the day. I remember when Penneys & Sears used to sell these mini-bikes in the 70s. If you were lucky as a kid, you had one of these models with working suspension. If not you just hit the gas on your rigid frame model & learned to hang on tight!
