EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph presents Ayrton and Perry's electric tricycle, one of the earliest known electric vehicles in history, built in 1883. The innovative duo behind this engineering marvel were the French inventors Gustave Trouvé, Léon Houis, and Camille Jenatout, who collaborated under the names Ayrton and Perry. This electric tricycle, the second electric car ever constructed, predates the famous electric vehicles of Thomas Edison and Ransom Olds by several years. The tricycle showcased in this image is a testament to the ingenuity and pioneering spirit of the late Victorian era. The vehicle features three wheels, with the front wheel being driven by an electric motor. The battery, located at the rear, provided power to the motor via a series of cables and pulleys. The tricycle's design was sleek and compact, making it an ideal mode of transport for the urban landscape of the 1880s. The intricate details of the tricycle are evident in this photograph. The wooden frame, leather seat, and metal components exude an air of elegance and sophistication, reflecting the high-quality craftsmanship of the time. The image also reveals the presence of a rider, adding a sense of scale and context to the vehicle. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the early days of electric transportation, a time when inventors and engineers were pushing the boundaries of what was possible. Ayrton and Perry's electric tricycle paved the way for future innovations in the field, ultimately leading to the mass production of electric cars and the eventual shift away from fossil fuels in the transportation industry.
