About the Item
1913 Aerothruster miter mounted bicycle. This was a short lived bicycle idea Top speed: Very high risk estimates. One source claims up to 60 mph for a Klinedinst bicycle fitted with a twin‑cylinder 2‑stroke Aerothrust motor. 
• Handling, safety, etc.: Because it was push‑propelled from behind, with a spinning prop, no guard or kill‑switches, exposed moving parts, minimal braking in many cases — very hazardous by modern standards.
Use cases: These were more novelty, show pieces, or experiments. Aerothrust also marketed its engine/propeller kits for outboard motors, ice sleds, small boats. The bicycle fits seem more experimental / promotional
• Engines: They used both single‑ and twin‑cylinder air‑cooled gasoline engines. Some were 2‑stroke, others 4‑stroke. 
• Power: Roughly 3 bhp in many examples. 
• Propeller: A large two‑blade wooden propeller, often exposed, placed behind the rider. 
• Frame: Usually a standard bicycle frame (e.g. Iver Johnson bicycle in one famous example) modified to carry the motor and propeller. 
This example has wood rims and white tires
