I once had a bicycle with a 49cc 2 stroke motor kit I put on the back of it. It was my only vehicle at the time (was living in the Caribbean and wanted the motor so I would arrive at work without needing to shower - pedaled home though, and went swimming in the ocean to cool off.)

I've since come to appreciate electric drive for bike applications. The quiet and lack of pollution are big points.

I also had a Ninja... the baby one. :P
