Framed Print of Steam Powered Motorcycle, Velocipede, 1818
French cartoon entitled: "Velocipedraisiavaporianna", 1818 (note the stokers and feeders following behind). The image above shows the first idea for a motorcycle: a hobbyhorse cycle with a steam engine attached, described as a "steam-driven velocipede." The vehicle was conceived only a year after the two-wheeler was invented, in a world with no electronic media. A closer look reveals two pipes with shut-off valves leading from the large boiler box, one to each wheel. It was invented in Germany, but tested in the Luxembourg Gardens in Paris on April 5, 1818. © New York Public Library / Science Source
