And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
No brakes! Pedals not opposed, possibly so they double as a footrest when at bottom-dead-centre. Interesting bracing to the front forks. With its drop-handlebar, I guess it's for racing (but some way of stopping could be useful)
It looks like the final drive chain is removed. It should be on the other side, you can see a sprocket on the rear tire and part of a sprocket on the opposite pedal. I'd say the pedals are connected to some type of slipper clutch mechanism and the motor drive chain turns that on the left side of the bike, with the final chain on the right side.
What is driving what....there?
