The Story 

 

Back in 2001, what started out as a very special custom minibike for a 6-year old, has now become a full time company with dealerships nationwide, and more to follow.

 

Chris Puehse, a devoted Harley Davidson motorcycle enthusiast with 20 years riding experience, wanted to create a special scooter for his then 6-year old son Brandon Harley. He created “the little scooter with an attitude" and with it a new company called Little BadAss Motorcycle Company.

 

When Puehse unveiled the scooter he was blown away by the reaction of those who saw it. The miniature hog with its extended forks, chrome parts and low-slung seat heard comments like "unbelievable" from onlookers. Puehse decided, "…if everyone who saw it said they wanted one, I could make a few and sell them." Featured in Easy Rider Magazine in 2001, owned by celebrities like Dale Earnhardt Sr and Jr, Willie Nelson, Grave Digger Paul and Tina.

 

In 2011, the Little BadAss Motorcycle company became part of a national family of power sports companies distributed by GTC Industries. But by then, many of the suppliers including Tecumseh, Comet and others had closed their doors. This meant the bike would have to be redesigned to use the new generation of minibike engines and torque converters. That job has been completed
