Gasoline and oil are contained in a tubular frame, having shaft drive, sprung fork, and pressure oiling. The first Pierce motorcycles have direct drive and single speed.

All other components are correct and original. Ownership history is unknown, it bears a first year issue 1914 Pennsylvania enamel license plate, and includes a Pierce logo tool set. Although complete and in running condition, dissasembly and inspection is recommended before road use.
