From land to sky and sea, human’s trip modes have undergone several thousand years’ development with more power modes. For myself, I show special preference to two-wheeled transportation. The followings are some Historical Pictures which is my interest. Hope you can enjoy them as I do.

PS:The design of bodywork and wheels have been improved greatly.

In 1770, Sivrac, a French person invented the most primitive bike, with two wheels and without transmission gears.

In 1817, a German baron Carl Drais made a wooden wheel vehicle, adding a handlebar to control direction so that people can change the moving direction.

In 1874, a truly modern bicycle was born. Lawson, a British man, added a chain and chain wheel to bicycle, enabling the rotation of the rear wheel to go forward. However, it was still not coordinating and stable enough.

The derivatives of bicycles have emerged in Europe, and human’s trip modes have entered a personalized era.

In 1885, German William Haim Daimler made the world's first motorcycle in its true sense.
