lit all the innovations of mod-rn timers
not one has achieved stnii extraordin
ary and universal popularity in the
ame space of time as the bicycle. F.veti
electricity, whose developments have
been phenomenal, cannot show uch a
record. It is not strange that in view of
this unparalleled success there slmultl
be many who look for still further tti-
I uniplis through the Improvements that
I the future Is utmost sure to bring. Mf
I those improvements the self-propelling
wheel is generally regarded as the must
Important und far-reuchlng In Its ft
fei ts. Whether this Is ti ue-or not ile
iiemls Verv lurwlv utM.ii tilt- motives)
that Induce the majority of people t.
ride. Those who use the wheel for the-
beneficial effects of the exercise will j
certainly not look with much favor on ;

fort unnecessary, although these, as
well as those who tide purely for pleas
ure, would no doubt regard as desir
able any Innovations that would enable
the rider to do his own pedaling or
utilize the power of the machine at will.
Those who use bicycles as a matter of
i business principally, that Is. to save ear
I fare, would undoubtedly hall with de
j light a self-propelling wheel, providing
I it could be operated with sufficient
! economy. With the latter class of rid
ers the cost of the motive power would
be the prime consideration, but with the
former it would he of secondary impor
tance. A wheel too heavy to curry without
Inconvetilenc over Insurmountable mI-
stacles would not be acceptable to those

greater extent by those who ride from
motives or economy. Judging from

1,1. ,,r ii, . I. ,.ii,l,i of tin- latter cIumh
than of the former. Their su vess. if
stub it may be called, has been very
limited, and their efforts appear to
have been directed wholly to the qlies
tion of providing the nevessary power
lo propel tlie wheel. In fact, this part
of the problem alone Is so difficult that
It bus overshadowed everything else.
When it is successfully solved tne In
ventors will be able to give mote atten
tion to such niattees as artistic effect,
cleanliness, and lightness.
THF. MAIN PROBLEM.
In order to be able to appreciate prop
erly the difficulties thut Inventors must
overcome to effect a thoroughly suc
cessful solution of the problem. It will
be necessary to consider the weight and
space permissible for the motor, as
well as several other details which w ill
be enumerated further on. The gen
eral run of bicycles weigh' from ubout
eighteen to thirty-five pounds. Very
few. however, reach the higher figure.
The uverage weight Is perhaps ubout
twenty-live pounds. This Is not too
much to be curried without inconven-
lelice by any one possessed of enough
strength and endliiane- to ride a wheel;
but ir the Welgnt were increased t.,
say, forty pounds, it would be fully
us much as the majority would be able
to handle without undue exertion. Tell
able in a self-propellliig bicycle, it will
be seen that there would be only fif
teen pounds to cover the weight of mo
tive power mechanism, and also tli
additional strengthening that tlie var
ious parts of the apparatus would re
quire. Now to determine what amount
of power would be required to propel
the wheel. If the average weight of
riders Is put at 14U pounds, the total
weight of rider und wheel would be 1M
pounds. This, on un uverage toad, per
fectly level, would require a propel
ling force of ubout two pounds, if run
ning at u speed so low that the resist
ance of the atmosphere would not have
to be considered, which would be about
ten or twelve miles. At the latter speed
the power that would have to be ap
plied would be about one-sixteenth of
a horse power. On a smooth asphnt
tuin pavement less than half this power
would be required. An electric or n
gas motor of this capacity an be made
that will weigh considerably less than
ten pounds, perhaps not over five or
six. und be substantial and durable
in ull its parts. But to tlie weight
of the motor must be added the weight
of the mechanism by means of which
the motion Is transmitted to the wheel:
also the weight of oil or gas and tank
in the case of a gus or oil motor, unci
of the storage battery in the case of
ail electric motor.
So fur us the electric motor is con
cerned, it may be said that at the pres
ent time the weight of storage batteries
jls so greul that they could not be used
except lor very short runs. With oil
i or gas motors it Is probuble that the
jtank. fully charged, could be kept wlth
jin three or four pounds. With the lat
'ter type of motive power it may be
said then that the motor und oil or
'gas tank would welch W 1. V full
Whlcll would leuv
rive pounds for
strengthening ,p tne parts of the wheel
that would be too frail as ordinarily
consirucieu.
TIIU QUESTION OF G HADES.
From the foregoing it will be seen
that the power required to run on a
level loud of average smoothness could
probably be obtained within the per
missible weight or forty pounds for the
entire bicycle. But such a machine
would not be able to propel itself over
rough roads or up grades; neither could
it run at a rate of speed higher than
twelve miles un hour. If assisted by
the rider It could climb grades, but
from the following It will be seen that
on steep Inclinations the help of
the motor would he about offset by the

Increased weight. ' so ' that nearly as
much effort would have to be wade by
the rider as If on an ordinary wheel
unassisted by the power of motor.
For each one per cejit. of gradient .the
force reiiuired to propel the motor bi
cycle would increase at the -rate of
about one and eight-tenths pounds,
and for the ordinary wheel at the rate
of one und sixty-tlve-hundredths
pounds. To run up a six per cent,
grade with the motor bicycle would re
quire a force of about thirteen pounds,
of which the rider would exert eleven
and the motor two. To mount the
same inclination with an ordinary bi
cycle, would require a force of about
eleven and one-half pounds; therefore
. the help of the motor would only
amount to one-half of a pound, or about
I four per cent.
! It is evident from the foregoing that
a motor that would only furnish enough
power to run on a level road would be
of very little value, because in running
up grades nearly all the power would be
I used to carry its own weight. The fact
that with it would he possible to run
on a level without exertion would be
of small moment, because under such
conditions the effort recoiled Is so
light that It is not fatiguing.
lu older that a self-propelling wheel
may be of any practical vulue it must
have enough power lo run up any
grades that are liable to be encountered
in most cities and town and country
roads. 'In many places, as for example
P!itiburg, there are streets with gradl
" a" high us lii per cenl.. but a wheel
j 'uai couiu Hiirmount. say. It) per cent.
would meet the requirements In the
majority of cases. The power required
for each I per cent, of grade is about
equal to that used to run oji a level:
therefore to mount It) per cent, would
require eleven times as much power as
to run on a level road, or, roinjhly
speaking, about threu-quurters of a
horse-power. It has been claimed by
many inventors that they can make
motors of this capacity that will not
weigh more than twelve or lll'teen
pounds; but while such lightness may
be attained in a machine of an experi
mental character, it is evident that It
would not be strong enough to be con
sidered practical. I'nless the working
parts are made of a size and strength
proportional to the work they are ex
pected to do they will not withstand
the strain for any length of time: nnd It
'? Vel'-V doubtful whether any reputable
designer of machinery could be full lid
who would be willing to say thut a
three-quarter horse power gas or oil
engine could be mude which would
withstand the strain of constant work
day after day without unreasonable
wear and tear, and would weigh much
less thun fifty pounds. But if the
weiriit of motor Is Increased to this
eMeht, additional power would be re-
! 'Hilled
to carry the extra load, there
the actual capacity of the motor
I Wl"'d t"' nearer one-horse power than
for

horse power. The weight. Including
ti'.nk and the enlargement of the vari
ous parts of the wheel to provide the
n cessary re-enforcement, would hard
ly be less thun sixty pounds, which
would make the total weight of the bi
cycle at least eighty-five pounds. This
would be more thun the uverage rider
would care to hundle. and therefore
would render such a device Impractic
able. OTHF.K TkOI BLKS.
Thus it will be seen that one of tic
greatest difficulties that the Inventors
will have to contend with Is the weight,
and this is what they have been strug
gling with up to the present time. It
would not be safe, perhaps, to say that
this diflictilty is insurmountable, for al
most anything in the line of mechanical
achievement seems to be possible lu this
age of Invention: but the obstacles in
the way are certainly of the most for
midable kind.
Assuming, however, that the weight
of motive ;iower can be reduced to a
point where It Would be practical, it
would still be necessary to remove sev
eral other objections to tender either
gus or oil motors acceptable Ope of the
greatest of these objections Is the dis
agreeable smell. F.verybody knows that
u very small amount of gas will do a
great deal in the way of making its
presence felt, even to persons who are
fifteen to twenty feet away from the
point where it escapes. Such being the
case it is very evident that an almost
I Intlnitesimal leak would be disagreeable
in the highest degree. It may be said
thut the smell from the tank can be
uvcliled, but even If this Is assumed
to be true there would still be the odor
of the burned gas which would be ex
hausted from the motor after doing;
Its work, and this would be nearly us
bad as that arising from the gas holier.
With kerosene oil or gasoline engines
the cuse would be even worse, because
a very small amount of either spilled
over the tank in the act of tilling It
t would leave a smell thut could only he
removed by strong soap and hot water.
Perhaps inventors may get around this
dllttculty by making the gas or oil odor
less. Another objection to the use of either
gas or oil Is the danger of fire or ex
plosion, and this might be the cautie of
very serious accidents, especially In the
cuse of women riders. Although mis
haps from this cause might be very few.
the mere thought thut one was riding
on top of a small volcano would serve
to detruct greatly from the pleasure of
the sport.
Perhaps the greatest objection with
the majority of people would be On
cost of the motors, which would in ull
i probability be fully equul to that of
the Wheel Itself. The cost of operation
would also be higher than the average
rider would desire. The bare cost of
oil or gas would probably be but a few
cents a day. but to this would huve to
be added the cost of repairs and break
downs, which would no doubt amount
to a considerable sum.
I ,l lna' strange to many that a
.bicycle thut can be propelled up a ten
per cent, grade by the unaided effort of
a man should require nearly a one
horse power motor to operate it suc
cessfully: but this difference lu pow
er Is due to the fact that It has been
assumed that the speed when running
up hills would be in the neighborhood
of twelve miles per hour. It Is prob
able that very few riders can run up a
steep grade faster thun five or six
miles. This difference in speed would
at once reduce the power required to
propel the wheel to one-half horse; but
as the weight carried would be about
sixty pounds less, there would be a still
further reduction, so that the actual
power exerted by a rider In going up a
ten per cent, grade would be sonv
where between one-quarter and one
thlrd of n horse power. A man of aver
age strength can do one-half of a horse
power for a few minutes, but the
strongest men cannot keep It up for
any length of time. While many rid
ers may be found who can run up a
steep grade two or three hundred feet
long. few. If any, could ascend the same
inclination for a distance of one or two
miles without a rest.
A motor could be so constructed that
It would run at a high rate of speed
on a level rond and reduce Its velocity
to five or six miles on steep grades,
and In this iway the slse could be re
duced to less than one-half horse pow
er. But to accomplish this result It

made it such u success In the propul
sion of trolley curs.
The electric motor would be the ideal
power Tor the propulsion or bicycles if
only It could be supplied with the elec
tric current to operate It. Hut the only
way in which this can be accomplished
Is by the use of storage batteries, and
the weight of these, even or the lightest
type now made. Is sue h thut they would
render the apparatus very cumbersome.
Their weight could be considerably re
duced by making use or the power de
velopetl when running down hill par
tially to recharge the butteries, but even
this expedient would not make the ap
paratus sutllclently light to be consid
ered unobjectionable iu that respect.
In every other respect the electric' mo
tor would be all that could be desired.
It is very nVnnuct. very light, clean,
noiseless, und perfectly sale.
The two cuts furnished herewith will
give some idea of the way in which In
ventors are trying to solve this prob
lem. Figure I represents a blcvcle nf
the gas or oil motor type. Kr.' t.
general appearance, as well as the siae
of the tires, it is evident thut its weight
Is considerably above that of the or
dinary wheel. Tlie gus lank and au
electric battery, used to Ignite the SI1S
In the motor cylinder, lire located on
the upper frame directly on front of the
saddle. The motor Is at the rear end.
and Its appearance would indicate that
It Is entirely too frail to withstand the
strain of constant use.
Figure shows ivtype or the electric
motor bicycle. The box directly under
tlie axle of the f roti wheel, which Is the
driver, holds the storage butteries. The
motor Id located within the box shown
In front of the steering handle, ami the
power m transmitted to the wheel by
means of u chain. This cut. like the
Previous one. does nol create the Im
pression of lightness. The w heel shown
In figure 1. us will be noticed, is so ar
ranged that the pedals may be used,
but figure 2 is not. the motor being de
pended upon entirely to do I he work.
What these machines will do cannot
be suld. but judging from uppcuraucc,
figure 1 would have lo be helped very
materially over erades bv the rider ...,!i
If used Very often would soon weur out.
No. 2 would probubly run Tor a shoit
distance, but fiooi the size of il.e .i..r.
age battery box it is quite evident that
mis oisiunce would ne entirely too
short for practical purpose.
From all the foregoing the conclu
sions may be drawn that he problem of
devising a practical sell'-tii'iniolilno. t.i.
cycle is very difficult, and that, while it
may ue pnssioie. u is not probuble that
It will be solved very soon.
