Pierre Michaux was born into a family of carriage builders and became one of the pioneers of the bicycle industry in the mid-19th century. His family background in carriage making likely influenced his interest and skills in building bicycles.
The first bicycle with a motor was created in 1867, and was powered by steam. It was created by French Blacksmith, Pierre Michaux. His company was called: Michaux et cie. The first petrol powered bicycle was created by, Gottlieb Daimler and Wilhelm Mayback in 1885 in Germany. It was called the, Reitwagen.

Well, it started with a regular bicycle.. They obviously wanted something faster so came up with the idea of a bike with a motor. The first steam engine was made in 1867, when a guy named Pierre Michaux's son Ernest Michaux fitted a small steam engine to a bike called 'Velocipedes' which his father founded the first company to construct bicycles with pedals called a velocipede.

The first bicycle prototype was invented by Baron Karl von Drais in 1817 in Mannheim, Germany.The first bicycle called velocipeda was built by french nobleman comte de sivrac in 1791Most historians are of the opinion that it was Ernest Michaux who invented the bicycle. But it should not be forgotten that others also helped in its invention. Ernest Michaux first partenered with another man named Pierre Michaux, his father in the invention of bicycle. In the 1860s they built a carriage that looked something like the bicycle people know of today, though it wasn't perfect. Then in 1861, Ernest finally ended up with the modern bike after doing innovations to it.There's some debate about that, but a German named Karl (von) Drais patented a two-wheeled contraption he called the running machine in 1818.Two frenchmen, Pierre Michaux and Pierre Lallement, added drive by attaching cranks to the front wheel in the early 1860´s.Then Englishman John Kemp Starley came along, and 1885 introduced the chain driven "safety" bike, which is surprisingly similar to bikes of today.Henry Lawson and in 1879Made by Pierre and Ernest Michaux, in 1861.
