old motorcycle made mostly of wood???

<< < (3/3)

Bluechip:
Maybe ..

In 1885 no other vehicles around to wallop into ..
Hence brakes superfluous

Aside from that I seem to think this machine still exists .. not sure .. cannot find a good reference , but
some years ago a friend went to S.Germany, and IIRC he says it's in a motorcycle museum.
But, it may be a replica, not the original.
Dunno. If I had it, I would sell it and buy a shed load of new bikes, before the weevils consumed it.

Check this out, third picture down. Gas powered for sure. Well worth reading the whole article. 264cc four stroke engine.
