When I was a kid there was a small motor that you mounted on the front of you bike. It would be lowered to contact the front wheel and get you going at around 20 mph. Great fun, but I don,t recall who made it or what it was called. They don't make them anymore to my knowledge. Does anyone recall what they were called?

I remember one made by a company called Jack & Heinz of Cleveland, Ohio back in the late 40's/early 50's. It clamped to the handlebars and was lowered until a rubber drive wheel rested on the front tire.... no front fender so you always had a "tire stripe" from waist to forehead. The most popular one back then was made by Whizzer, and was frame mounted.
