The article is dedicated to creation of the first motor vehicles with internal combustion engines. The purpose of article is to establish the name of the designer who was the first to create the world's motorized bicycle classic layout with a combustion engine. This article describes the construction of the first motorized vehicles Gottlieb Daimler, Edward Butler, Felix Millet, Giuseppe Murniotti, Edward Pennington, Alois Wolfmüller and Hans Geisenhof. based on the analysis of structures of motor vehicles. It's stated that none of the vehicles can be called a prototype of modern mopeds and motorcycles. Based on the research it was found that in Germany Russian engineer B. Loutzky was engaged in creation of motorized vehicles with internal combustion engines even before Hildebrand and Pennington. These motorized vehicles were exhibited in Palermo, Erfurt, Vienna, Prague, Lamberg, Stuttgart and other cities in Europe, and were acknowledged and rewarded with gold medals. The paper describes the design of the first motorized bicycle with a classic layout by B. Loutzky and design of the unique internal combustion engines, which B. Loutzky used in his first vehicles. Overall, based on the analysis of patents for inventions, literary and archival sources, the priority of the Russian engineer B. Loutzky in creation of the motorized bicycle classic layout with a combustion engine is established. Key words: Boris Loutzky, inventor, designer, motorized bicycle, classic layout, internal combustion engine, patents
