Word origin
The motorcycle, as we know it today, has evolved over the past century. It originated from the development of the steam-powered bicycle in the 19th century, eventually transitioning to the internal combustion engine. The first commercial motorcycles were produced in the early 20th century, and since then, they have become a popular mode of transportation and a symbol of freedom and adventure.
