The Roper steam velocipede was a steam-powered velocipede built by inventor Sylvester H. Roper of Roxbury, Boston, Massachusetts, United States sometime from 1867–1869. It is one of three machines which have been called the first motorcycle, along with the Michaux-Perreaux steam velocipede, also dated 1867–1869, and the 1885 Daimler Reitwagen. Historians disagree over whether the Roper or the Michaux-Perreaux came first. Though the Reitwagen came many years later than the two steam cycles, it is often labeled as the "first motorcycle" because there is doubt by some experts whether a steam cycle should meet the definition of a motorcycle.

  • Das US-amerikanische Roper Dampfrad war ein Vorläufer des Motorrads. (de)
  • De Roper was een motorfiets met stoomaandrijving. Sylvester Howard Roper bouwde halverwege de jaren zestig van de negentiende eeuw stoommotorfietsen in de Verenigde Staten. Ze werden nooit populair omdat omstreeks die tijd de Einspur van Gottlieb Daimler werd gebouwd en daarmee de viertakt-benzinemotor zijn intrede deed. Roper was wel zeer succesvol met de circus-achtige shows die hij in de jaren 1870-1880 gaf met zijn stoomvelocipede en zijn stoomwagen. Feitelijk bouwde hij de eerste racemotor. Omdat er geen tweede bestond reed Roper wedstrijden tegen paarden. (nl)
  • El velocípedo de vapor Roper fue un vehículo de dos ruedas con motor de vapor construido por el inventor estadounidense Sylvester H. Roper de Roxbury (Boston), en algún momento entre 1867 y 1869. Es una de las tres máquinas que se han considerado la primera motocicleta,​ junto con el velocípedo de vapor Michaux-Perreaux, también con fecha de 1867-1869, y el 1885 Daimler Reitwagen. Los historiadores no están de acuerdo sobre si el vehículo de Roper o el de Michaux-Perreaux fueran los primeros. Aunque la Reitwagen surgió muchos años después que los dos biciclos de vapor, a menudo, tal vez con mayor frecuencia, se la conoce como la "primera motocicleta" porque algunos expertos dudan de que un biciclo de vapor cumpla con la definición de motocicleta.
