Motorcycle model with motor and suspension

 

The photographs show how it is possible to add a motor to the motorcycle model.  Of course, this is only one idea.  It is possible to put the motor into the motorcycle body – however this has problems, can you spot them?

The model is the first with a motor which actually works well. It has suspension both front and rear and it is powered by two AA batteries ( 3V ).  The front wheel is ridiculously wide – I want to reduce this but balance when moving is a problem.  Anyway, what DO YOU think?  Can you make a better one, perhaps from vacuum formed plastic, perhaps with steering, perhaps with accessories? Good luck.
