Title: Three of the world's first motorcycles
Post by: Richard230 on October 07, 2021, 08:39:43 PM

Just to illustrate how ICE motorcycles have improved over the years, here is a YouTube video showing running examples of the first three motorcycles. All were built before 1900 and I am pretty sure they are all reproductions. However they are fun to watch. But I sure wouldn't want to ride them on the dirt and gravel roads of the day, what with those thin hard rubber tires and no suspension:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vrd8QpIjlbw&t=13s

This gives you some idea how things will likely improve with electric motorcycles during a similar time period. We are currently in a period equivalent to ICE motorcycle technology from around 1910, or so.  ;)
