Our mobility began with the primal bicycle. The FIRST, human powered, impeller - also called walking machine / draisine (bicycle). The inventor was Karl von Drais in 1817. Then around 1869 came the steam engine with boiler and charcoal firing developed by Sylvester H. Roper, the FIRST steam wheel in the world, with which he performed in circus events and at trade fairs. Then came the first motorcycle in the world developed by Gottlieb Daimler in 1885, powered by an "combustion engine" - "the riding car". Afterwards came the FIRST automobile from Carl Benz in 1885/86: a three-wheeled, two-seater BENZ. Patent motor car type 1, with high-speed single-cylinder four-stroke engine 0.75 HP (0.55 KW).
