kick starter
Bike engine activator
A kick starter is a lever on a motorcycle or similar engine that you push down forcefully with your foot to start the motor.
The motion cranks the engine manually, bypassing an electric starter.
Figuratively, anything that gets a process going can be called a kick starter: The grant was a kick starter for the research program. (Capitalized Kickstarter is the crowdfunding platform.)
