Remember when they were called Nethercutt for a while, same machine and you could mail order them from popular mechanics magazine In a crate. The guy who invented them has the bragging rights to the first disc brake on a motorcycle in 1955, the same year I was born.

It has the original Chrysler Power Bee engine with a new carb, they came with a kick start and pull start, however I converted to a torque converter for speed. It has a three speed transmission you must stop to shift. The lever next to the tank is the shift mechanism. Two wheel drive of course.
Anything with two wheels and a motor was forbidden fruit growing up on our farm.
That did not stop me from lusting for one of these.

This machine was on a farm in Wenatchee its whole life before I purchased it from a family member of the farm owner. He said all the kids learned how to ride motorcycles on it.
