The Harley-Davidson Topper was the only motor scooter the Harley-Davidson Motor Company ever produced. It had a 165 cc single-cylinder two-stroke engine mounted horizontally between the floorboards, running on a premixed gasoline and oil mixture and started by a rope recoil like a lawn mower. A continuously variable transmission called Scootaway Drive turned an exposed roller chain, and the scooter had 5 inch drum brakes on both wheels. The body used stamped steel with molded fiberglass covers. Owner complaints about road grime slipping the belt led to a sealed oil-bath drive for 1961, and the Topper H of 1961 added a higher compression ratio.
