INTRODUCTION
THE FIRST MOTORCYCLE Who invented the first motorcycle?
It seems like simple questions, but the answer is a bit complicated. Motorcycles are descended from the safety bicycle,, bicycles with front and rear wheels of the same size, with a pedal crank mechanism to drive the rare wheel. Those bicycles, in turn were descended from high-wheel bicycles, the high wheelers were descended from an early type of push-bike, without pedals, propelled by the rider’s feet pushing against the ground. These appeared around 1800, used iron-banded wagon wheels, and were called bone-crushers, both for their; jarring ride, and their tendency to toss their riders.
Gottlieb Daimler (who later teamed Daimler’s wooden-framed bone crusher up with Karl Benz corporation is credited with building the first motorcycle in 1885, one wheel in the front and one in the back, although it had a smaller spring-loaded outrigger wheel on each side. It was constructed mostly of wood, with the wheels being of the iron-banded wooden-spoken wagon-type, definitely a bone crusher chassis.
It was indeed powered by single-cylinder Otto-cycle engines, and may have had a spray – type carburetor. Daimler’s assistant, wit helm may Bach was working on the invention of the spray carburetor at the time.
It one counts two wheels with steam propulsion as being a motorcycle, then the first one may have been American. One such machine was demonstrated at fairs and circuses in the eastern us in 1867, built by one Sylvester Howard roper of Roxbury, Massachusetts. There is an existing example of a roper machine, dated 1869. It’s powered by a charcoal-fired two cylinder engine. Whose connecting rods directly drive a crank on the rear wheel? This machine predates the invention of the safety bicycle by many years. So its classis is also based on the “bone-crusher” bike.
