From Bicycle to Motor: The History of the Motorcycle's Origins

How did we go from a modified bicycle frame to a structured motorized vehicle? This book traces the milestones of motorcycle evolution from the late 19th-century experiments up to the eve of World War II.

Through the analysis of pioneering designs, the crucial impact of sporting competitions-such as the Tourist Trophy and board track racing-and the transformation driven by the military demands of the Great War, this volume recounts how the motorcycle progressively established itself as a mature industrial product.
