The early motorcycles were nothing more than motorized bicycles. Your Schwinn should be called a motor bike similar to the Whizzer. The one that fooled me was the Mustang. It had small wheels like a scooter but was a motorcycle with engine in the proper place and gears. I read that they raced it on dirt track against the Harley dirt tracker and it easily beat the Harley. The AMA racing committee made a rule that dirt trackers had to have a minimum wheel size of 16 inches.
