An electrically operated auxiliary unit for driving a bicycle constructed to be attached to the bicycle frame and, by means of driving engagement created by the weight of the drive motor along a lever arm, propel the bicycle with a drive pulley. The unit includes a motor support frame including a horizontal bar located at one side at the top of the rear wheel of the bicycle and which is attached to the bicycle frame. A horizontal arm, pivotally mounted on the horizontal bar, extends tranversely over the rear wheel. A motor is mounted upon the horizontal arm with the center of gravity of the motor located on the opposite side of the wheel from the location of the horizontal bar. The horizontal arm acts as the lever arm, and driving engagement is created between the drive pulley and the wheel of the cycle by the weight of the motor.
