Collection Highlight: Whizzer

Long before motorcycles became the machines we recognize today, many were essentially bicycles with motors added by their owners. The Whizzer clip-on engine reflects those early foundations of motorcycle history.

First introduced in 1939, the Whizzer gave riders a way to turn a bicycle into a motorized vehicle. During World War II, production nearly came to a stop, but the company successfully convinced the War Department that its engines could help defense workers commute while conserving gasoline.

The resulting "New Model" was sold exclusively to defense workers for the duration of the war, making it one of the only new vehicles available in the United States at the time.

In 1946, Whizzer introduced the Model H as the country transitioned back to civilian production. Over the following decade, an estimated 350,000 to 500,000 Whizzer engines were produced.

This unique piece of OHTM's collection tells the story of a fascinating period in transportation history, when a simple bicycle could become a motorized means of transportation with the addition of a small engine.
