Miniature Motorcycles

Miniature art has been made for over 1000 years. The history of the motorcycle begins in the second half of the 19th century. Motorcycles are descended from the safety bicycle, a bicycle with front and rear wheels of the same size and a pedal crank mechanism to drive the rear wheel. Despite some early landmarks in its development, the motorcycle lacks a rigid pedigree that can be traced back to a single idea or machine. Instead, the idea seems to have occurred to numerous engineers and inventors around Europe at around the same time.
