The first motorbike was built in 1868. It was not powered by a gasoline engine, but by steam. Sylvester Howard Roper's invention did not catch on, but it anticipated many modern features, including the twisting-handgrip throttle control. The 1869 (existing) example of a Roper machine, is powered by a charcoal-fired two-cylinder engine. Its chassis is based on the "bone-crusher" bike. "Bone-Crusher's" appeared around 1800, used iron-banded wagon wheels, and were called "bone-crushers," both for their jarring ride, and their tendency to toss their riders.
