History The Main Purpose, of the motorcycle was to get around faster, better and safer, and to make travel easier.
Invented…. • First motorcycle- Sylvester Howard Roper, 1876 • Second “up dated” Innovation- Gottlieb Daimler, 1885
Original vs Today • Original : the “first” one was coal powered, two cylinder, and steam driven, this was also wooden . • Today: the design today is the motorcycle the motorcycle is very different from the bike, Today’s version is gas/ fuel powered, can go WAY faster than the “first” one, and has more powerful engine.

Innovations for improvement • Gas/fuel powered • Not a “motorized bicycle” • Has a better engine • they added a windshield • motor • mirrors
Types of Inventions • motorcycle(1 cylinder engine) • motorized bicycle • motorized scooter
Technology of Invention • Transportation, getting you around from place to place.
Positive Impact of Invention • People have been able to travel faster. • Traveling safer • using less money for gas
Negative impact on Society • Polluting the air • Using “to” much gas
