Thanks alot Tom nice try...Based on the statements so far to be called an engine it runs on fuel...To be a motor it runs on electricity.. ok, then to break the engine into a scientific study it would be determined it operates on a fuel, air, and a spark which produces a combustion..RIGHT :?: And then the motor operates on electricity.... So since the apparatus that makes my cycle go has fuel, air and spark and produces combustion then it is a engine..Therefore I am now riding a enginecycle in the 21st century :roll: ...Well I just be damned ain't terminology grand.....Oh and I almost forgot...Perhaps it is time to pave a new way in terminology again, look at this definition of an "ION ENGINE"....
ion engine- a type of reaction-propulsion ENGINE to propel rockets in space; a stream of positive ions is accelerated to a high velocity by an "ELECTRIC FIELD"... Notice no fuel involved but called an engine...
I do love a good discussion.....not an arguement now :!: Cause I am going to ride it what ever it is called...
