It’s too bad that DW ruin this story by being so nationalistic as to simply omit uk invention of pedal bicycle completely , are all their reports so wrong? You don’t see us denying Karl Benz and the motorcar....come on DW , credit where due please!
They were precursors to neither. DW got it wrong, that sim-le. The first 'electric motor cycle' patent was issued in 1895, and in that year, the first production motorcycle, The Wolfmuller and Hillerbrand, had already been on the market a year. The bikes pictured here were all from around the First World War era. Thus, precursors to nothing.

Penny Farthings aren't just museum pieces. They still race them, though they're still uncommon of course.
You forgot to mention Kirkpatrick MacMillan who invented the first pedal driven bicycle in 1842. It used a rod system that dove the rear wheel.

It took 200 years to make equal size of wheel lol
Not only museum pieces
Yeah you'll find at least one brave soul in each major city riding one of those crazy things 😂
I thought this would be directed by Ken Burns 🤣🤣 ifykyk
Funny how you don't give credit to Great Britain for the invention of pedal driven bicycle.
No one can know everything unfortunately, thank you for mentioning this.

@@houstonhelicoptertours1006 You do, that's why you commented..
Wow, so we had literally nothing before the 1800s... Millions of years of not much.
Forget millions of years... trillions of people
They were the "precursors" to MOTORCYCLES... NOT "E-Bikes".
They were the precursors to both.

Sorry! But the first bicycle was invented by a Scottish Farmer in Dumfriesshire in the late 1700s
I still give the German the full credit.

So do it. Some people enjoy being foot-sloggers instead of going places more quickly & stylishly.
