When was a two -stroke dirt bike built?

First Engine Ever InventedSo now we know that the first motorcycle was built by either Otto or Daimler but we still don't know who made the first engine to get the motorcycle to run. Well apparently the first engine to be invented was by the Dutch scientist Christian Huygens in 1678 and ran on gunpowder but he never actually got around to actually building it. A few hundred years later a guy named Etienne Lenoir built an internal combustion engine much like Huygens model, only this one ran on gasoline. Then in 1866 Nikolaus Otto teamed up with a guy named Eugen Langen and they made a better internal combustion engine. All these engines so far have been two-strokes, but in 1876 Otto developed what we know today as the four-stroke internal combustion engine.

What do all of the letters hemi stand for?

Hemi actually is a short form for Hemisphere. The term refers to a hemi engine which has been described as an internal combustion engine in which the combustion chambers are of hemispherical form. For many centuries hemispherical combustion chambers were used in cannon and mortars and these chambers were initiated on some of the earliest automotive engines before the concept of nternal combustion engines were proved.
