I was Born July 28, 1945, I built my first bike at the age of 8.Fabricated out of a 26" bicycle frame, 20" bicycle wheels (each one running two nested tires - they lasted longer that way) and powered by a cast iron, horse-and-a-half one cylinder/four stroke Briggs and Stratton motor off an old Maytag washing machine... it was belt driven, direct drive and didn't have a clutch so you had to peddle the bike to get the motor started and when you came to a stop sign or a red light either you went through or had to turn the engine off.The first modification was to make the belt longer, add a spring loaded pulley (and reinvent the slip clutch).I've been building and modifying bikes ever since.
