the chopper motor bike came out in the 1970s
rennie made the chopper bike from the 70s
The biggest difference between a chopper bike and a cruiser style bike is that with a cruiser you are leaning forward, lying on the bike as it were, with a chopper style bike you are sitting upright and the handles are higher up.
The company most likely to get the vote for the invention of the chopper is Raleigh bikes. However I do believe the concept and design were by an american company (forget who now) Original bikes were launched right an the end of the '60's. I have heard the whole monkey bar long seat design was out in America before this but as I am for the UK I can't be sure if it. Anyhow "chopper" is a brand name owned by Raleigh. And I also believe they have the patent. So legally I guess Raleigh is the answer..

To me an American Chopper. It is about showing who you are and what you are about. It shows pride in your beliefs and what you have built. There is no value of a chopper. There is always a price tag on everything. But the value is in the rider, the one who is proud to show off his bike. The bike that is not store bought, the one no one else has. It is custom, one of a kind. To me an American Chopper. It is about showing who you are and what you are about. It shows pride in your beliefs and what you have built. There is no value of a chopper.
