köken: From brommen (“to hum, drone, grumble”) + fiets (“bicycle”), referring to the sound made by their combustion engines; compare for example Danish knallert (“moped”), which similarly owes its name to the noise produced by these vehicles.
köken: Clipping of オートバイシクル (ōtobaishikuru), erroneously listed in some monolingual Japanese dictionaries as wasei eigo, but actually borrowed from English autobicycle, an early English term for motorcycle. See also autobike. First cited to a text from 1918.
köken: Blend of motor + pedaler (“pedals”). Coined by motor journalist Harald Nielsen in 1952 in the magazine Motor from tramp-cykel med motor och pedaler ("bicycle with engine and pedals").
