The first internal combustion petroleum fueled motorcycle was the Daimler Reitwagen. It was designed and built by the German inventors Gottlieb Daimler and Wilhelm Maybach in Bad Cannstatt in 1885.
The first internal combustion, petroleum fueled motorcycle was the Petroleum Reitwagen. It was designed and built by the German inventors Gottlieb Daimler and Wilhelm Maybach in Bad Cannstatt, Germany in 1885.
The first four-stroke gasoline internal combustion engine was invented by German engineer Nikolaus August Otto in 1876. Gottlieb Daimler and Wilhelm Maybach mounted an internal combustion engine onto a bicycle, creating the first motorcycle in 1885, and in 1887 they manufactured their first car. In the meantime, Karl Benz produced his first car with an internal combustion engine in 1886.
If we agree to exclude vehicles powered by steam, diesel or electricity, the first motorcycle was the Petroleum Reitwagen, built in 1885 by Gottleib Daimler and Wilhelm Maybach. This was however a prototype or test vehicle and the first production series motorcycle recognisable by way of two wheels, powered by an internal combustion engine was manufactured by Hildebrand & Wolfmüller in Munich in 1894.
The motorcycle was invented by Gottlieb Daimler and Wilhelm Maybach in 1885. It is not known why the motorcycle was invented.
The automotive industry was the net result of the internal combustion engine, because the engine addressed the deficiencies of external combustion engines for road vehicles. The steam engine was the precursor to gas-fired piston engines (1860s), and the invention of the diesel internal combustion engine by Rudolf Diesel, a German scientist, in 1897. An early gasoline engine was built by Wilhelm Maybach in 1890. To this day, the basic form of the engine remains the same, although with many innovations to improve performance and efficiency.
The motorcycle was invented by Gottlieb Daimler and Wilhelm Maybach. They first introduced the motorcycle in Bad Cannstatt, Germany in 1885.
Otto (which started the term "Otto Motor" in Germany) In 1876 Nikolaus Otto built a four-stroke or "Otto cycle" internal combustion engine. Gottlieb Daimler & Wilhelm Maybach who had worked with Otto on his engine, parted company and in 1885 released their own much advanced version. In 1886 Karl Benz patented his "motorwagen" and is generally credited as being the father of the automobile.
In 1885, Gottlieb Daimler from Schorndorf, Germany (together with his design partner Wilhelm Maybach) took Nicolaus Otto's internal combustion engine a step further and patented what is generally recognized as the prototype of the modern gas engine.- About.com
It was Nikolaus August Otto (June 14, 1832 Holzhausen an der Haide, Nassau - January 26, 1891 Cologne) was the German inventor of the first internal-combustion engine to efficiently burn fuel directly in a piston chamber.
