Innovations for improvement • Gas/fuel powered • Not a “motorized bicycle” • Has a better engine • they added a windshield • motor • mirrors
Types of Inventions • motorcycle(1 cylinder engine) • motorized bicycle • motorized scooter
Technology of Invention • Transportation, getting you around from place to place.
Positive Impact of Invention • People have been able to travel faster. • Traveling safer • using less money for gas
Negative impact on Society • Polluting the air • Using “to” much gas
