On 10 November 1885, German engineer Gottlieb Daimler revolutionised transportation by unveiling the world's first motorcycle, known as the "Reitwagen" or "Riding Car."
Powered by a single-cylinder internal combustion engine, the two-wheeled invention marked a pivotal moment in the history of mobility, merging bicycle design with engine technology to create a vehicle that would pave the way for modern motorcycles.
Daimler's groundbreaking creation was built in collaboration with his partner Wilhelm Maybach and featured a wooden frame and a primitive yet functional combustion engine, establishing the roots of motorised two-wheeled travel.
