My Ride in an 1881 EV!

Gustave Trouvé (1839-1902) invented a forerunner to the LED light, the endoscope, wearable technology, the modern dental drill, electric razor and light therapy for skin complaints, improved the telephone...and invented the world's first electric vehicle!
In total, he patented around 300 inventions - Les Wowzers!
A few days ago I got the chance to test drive a replica of his 1881 EV courtesy of Mr JEREMY HART - and this is a brief video of that encounter. For the full story - here's Jeremy's beautiful film:- lnkd.in/dDiA9aY

Thank you for the video about this interesting piece of history.

The machine is a Coventry lever drive tricycle. First introduced in 1880, by James Starley. He later improved the design from lever drive, to rotary.
