Motorized bicycle 35cc

 

Made accidentally!!       

From since I was a child, I wanted to escape from the simplicity (perhaps and the

tiredness of pedaling) where it had always the bicycle had and I was jealous to those that did not had to pedal (motorbikes).! Then one sunshine day I woke up and said…. What will I make today?? Thus I led to this!! A nice and beautiful (I would say), bicycle without pedals!! Yes!! You understood well…. It has an engine!!!! You can say it whatever you want. Motor cycle,

motorbike, gas-bike, lazy’s bicycle (for those who find it difficult to pedal)…….. Many friends told me: “Hey, brother! why don’t you buy a regular motorbike….????”. Then I say that it is the emotion of creativity, and the feeling of boldness. Everyone can make something like this, it only needs enough dare, and a lot of zeal…. All the

rest are made alone!!
