A salesman has his motorized roller skates refueled at a gas station in 1961.
This photo was taken at a gas station in Hartford Connecticut back in 1961. In it, is salesman Mike Dreschler refueling his motorized roller skates at a fuel pump. That contraption you see strapped to his back is a single horsepower air-cooled engine and in his hand, he has a clutch, accelerator, and the engine cut off switch for the device.
