The first successful motor cycle

The first successful motorcycle !

The first ever successful motorcycle was produced by Lucius Copland in 1881. He achieved this by creating a much smaller steam boiler this was a strong enough engine to drive a large rear wheel of an American star high-wheeler.

 

It was a large wheel that would be placed as the back wheel of an American star high-wheeler.

After Lucius Copland found no flaws in his invention, Six years later he would form a company called the Northrop manufacturing company.

 

This company was the first company to successfully produce the very first successful motorcycle.

The motor cycle actually had only three wheels.
