According to S. Babaian's historical assessment on bicycle technologies CCM's juvenile bicycles tended to have a conservative designs and were smaller versions of the adult recreational bicycles. This approach was typical of juvenile bicycles manufactured by CCM from 1916 into the 1960's. Around 1966, CCM began making "chopper" style bicycles aimed exclusively at children, the "Mustang" for boys and the "Cheetah" for girls as well as the later "Marauder". These designs deviated from the CCM norm because they were CCM's first attempt to specifically target youth with an exclusive bicycle. These models are know for extended forks, high-rise handle bars and the long narrow saddle called a banana seat.

Fonction

A girl's "chopper" or "high-rise handle bars" style recreational bicycle.

Technique

The "chopper" bicycle style was designed to evoke the sense of youth, individualism and possibly rebellion associated with motorcycle culture, specifically modifed Harley Davidson motorcycles. To reinforce the idea that "Cheetah" was motorcycle "chopper" these models of motorcycles were outfitted with extended forks, high-rise handle bars, the long narrow saddle called a banana seat and as in some cases (Marauder) the front wheel was smaller than the rear wheel. Sharon Babaian points out that some of these design features made the bicycles "unsafe and inefficient to ride" but the danger element may have contributed to their popularity.
