      It’s bicycle with a helping engine, but it’s not electric.

      The thing that looks like a battery is the fuel tank. The engine is the metal attachment left and below of the center of the back wheel.

      Random fact: The first motorized vehicle to drive across the USA was a bicycle. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_A._Wyman

        It is probably a 60ccm “Saxonette” engine. Here is an article (both in German) with some bikes from that era equipped with that engine.

          It’s half out of frame? Have you not developed object permanence?

            More like I was tired and probably a bit drunk and I wrote something stupid on Lemmy. Kill me. I’ve never heard of object permanence before but I think I understood it well enough at an early age when I drew dinosaurs and their heads continued off page because I didn’t like drawing them.
