Chopper motorcycles are a distinctive style of motorcycle, characterized by their low, wide frames, and often large, round wheels. The term "chopper" originated in the 1920s and 1930s, referring to the low-riding motorcycles used by motorcycle gangs. Over time, the style evolved and became more mainstream, with many manufacturers producing chopper-style motorcycles.

Chopper motorcycles typically feature a low-slung frame, which gives them a unique and aggressive appearance. The large, round wheels are another defining feature, often mounted on wide, flat fenders. The engines are usually air-cooled, with a large radiator mounted on the front of the bike. The exhaust system is often modified to produce a deep, rumbling sound.

Choppers are known for their customization potential, with many owners modifying their bikes to suit their personal style. Common modifications include custom paint jobs, aftermarket parts, and unique accessories. Some choppers are built from scratch, with owners sourcing parts from various manufacturers to create a truly one-of-a-kind bike.

Chopper motorcycles have a rich history and cultural significance, with many iconic models and brands associated with the style. Some of the most famous chopper motorcycles include the Harley-Davidson Fat Boy, the Indian Chief, and the Victory Scrambler. Today, choppers remain a popular choice for motorcycle enthusiasts, with many clubs and events dedicated to the style.
