A bicycle with a tiny motor, there below, and friction engagement to assist the rider. That's how my mother used to ride to the elementary school, out in the country, where she used to each. I still remember that machine.

Now, back to business. Enzo Guidi, the former mechanic I know in Calci, has such a Bianchi 'motorcycle' put up for sale. Very few details do I recall: springs in the front suspension and a 'B' forged cottered crank. He has also two similar frames sitting there and rusting away.
