Wore out three sets of tires already!
Before we bury the Cleveland Welding Company/Roadmaster and the MotorMaster for it’s design flaws, lets remember this was 1938, a year before the Whizzer Company released its “D” model prototype. The “D" included a steel cylinder head which made it prone to over heat. A split case motor which tended to leak oil and it also included a drive system that relied on a hard rubber roller that engaged into the rear tire to drive the rear wheel. Back in the early 1980’s my Dad had running D, E and F prototype Whizzers operating out of our garage. I have spent significant time in the saddle on all three models. The "D" was not what you would call easy to start, it did not have a great deal of power and the friction drive did not produce a smooth ride. What your comparing the Motor Master to is a "H" model Whizzer motor that would not come out for another eight years. It was also the Cleveland Welding Company/Roadmaster who took the lead in producing “purpose built bikes” to accommodate the whizzer motor kits. Just my non-bias perspective of course...
