Doodle Bug scooter

The Doodle Bug was a motor scooter built from 1946 to 1948[1] by the Beam Manufacturing Company[2] of Webster City, Iowa, US.

[3] Doodle Bugs were powered by 1½ hp engines from Briggs & Stratton or Clinton.

[1][2] The Doodle Bug Standard Model B was the only Doodle Bug series powered by Clinton engines; one thousand or less of these were built, all during the first production run of ten thousand scooters.

All other Doodle Bug scooters, including the Standard Model A that was produced alongside the Model B during the first production run, used variants of the Briggs & Stratton NP engine.

[1] An annual reunion of Doodle Bug owners and restorers is held in Webster City.
