Paton Machines

A New Zealand inventor, Kenny Paton, has created a unique motorcycle reminiscent of a penny-farthing bicycle but with a twist.

Dubbed “Penny Farming,” this unconventional machine features a large front tire from a tractor, a small rear wheel, and a steering wheel instead of handlebars.

Paton, known for his innovative creations at Paton Machines, built the motorcycle using scrap metal and discarded tractor parts found in his barn.

This isn’t Paton’s first foray into unusual vehicles; he’s also built a motorbike with a washing machine engine and a scooter powered by a chainsaw.
