WTF?! of the week – The Evil Honda Helix

Wed, Apr 16, 2008

Usually when you think “Honda Scooters” it might conjure up thoughts of cuteness (Metro) or oddness (most everything else)… but when you’ve seen what I’ve seen lurking around craigslist, it might change your mind. Check out THIS Honda Helix of DOOOOM! It was an ’86 like my own Uhura back in the day. I think it has potential. It’s screaming for a set of duel headlamps though. Click on the title link to see the original post (if it’s still there).

    What a waste of the helix’s gorgeous land-snowmobile bodywork. Or maybe it looks more like a jet-ski…

    I have a mid 80′s 150 Elite that is going to get this rat bike treatment. I rescued it from the back of a bike shop. It’s nice to get an idea of what it will look like.

    Hmm, reminds me of a Ruckus a little actually. Stick some big knobby tires on there and you’ll have the worlds first off-road Helix.

    D’oh! Good catch Dave. Though, a pair of headlamps with pistols mounted (for dueling) would be quite nice. I mint dual like too of them.

    First Helix I’ve ever seen that I liked the look of! (yeh, I’m not really into the “summer snowmobile” look of the stock Helix)

    sniff… feeling a little homesick for South Austin now. That picture of the dirt lot, stripped-down rat scooter, old Chevy Blazer, and random trashed MG could be titled “Still Life, South Congress”. Just needs a case of Lone Star, and maybe a dude in a ripped up straw cowboy hat sitting in a baby pool smoking a joint and eating a barbacoa taco.

    Has anyone converted a Helix from 6 to 12 Volts? If so what is involved in addition to a battery change.

    Please respond to Isleander@Gmail.com

    Thanks,

      The Honda Helix uses a 12 volt system stock from the
      factory. There’s no need to convert it unless you want to convert
      it to 6 volts which I wouldn’t recommend.

    That scooter is a lot of things, but one thing it isn’t is a Helix. See http://www.voidstar.com/bff/images/cnnude1.jpg for a real stripped Helix.
