Description
Out of the need for speed came the motorcycle. The first model was a bicycle with an engine strapped to it. Since then, the motorcycle has become its own vehicle, with a model to suit almost anybody's needs. This informative resource will appeal to young readers who love motorcycles and for those writing reports. It examines the invention and development of the motorcycle, the essential components of a motorcycle, and how motorcycles work. A special section on safety rounds out this resource, which will have readers revving up their engines.
