100 years ago, motorcycles were made from bikes, I got to inspect an early motorcycle at an antique vehicle show. The proud owner rode it around, but you could see the bicycle heritage in the frame. Given the Model T engine prototype was made from stove pipe, a cottage motorcycle factory, perhaps with a small generator shop next door could spring up anywhere. Now to convince the leather workers to make assless pants...... Sorry, couldn't help the classic movie reference.
