This is the last century version of the item that Asus is presenting here... but with a Gasoline engine.
The Engine is fixed on its own wheel and attached on the side of the bicycle.
This was apparently was a thing. It was used to motorize Japan at its industrialization debut.
On century later, electrification is now a thing and the same device is back with a battery. The loop is done.
PS: I do recommend the museum for anybody interested in industries and industrial processes.
