The 1885 Daimler Single Track Vehicle
|
The 1885 Daimler
Single Track Vehicle There had never been anything like it. A custom-built vehicle with two primary wheels powered by an internal combustion engine. Designed by the legendary Gottlieb Daimler -- a founding father of the company that became Daimler-Benz in 1926. This single track, as it was then called, combined a specially built bicycle with an air-cooled, 1/2 hp engine. Daimler's son was the first to ride it, and when he did, he led the way for untold generations of motorists, taking to the open road. Now, this revolutionary vehicle comes to life in an extraordinary die-cast re-creation. Capturing every historic feature of the original with complete and unprecedented accuracy. The distinctive main frame is sturdily constructed of real wood. The primary and stabilizing wheels are rimmed with metal. With real leather upholstery and major engine components richly coated with 24 karat gold. |
