The first motorcycle ever built had wooden wheels, a top speed of 12 km/h, and its seat caught fire on the very first test ride. The man who built it gave it away. 🔥 In 1885, a German engineer put an engine between two wheels just to test it — not to invent anything. He had no idea what he was starting. Everything that followed: every motorcycle you've ever ridden or loved or seen – traces back to that one wooden machine and a 17-year-old who kept going when it caught fire. If you were on that thing, do you keep riding? #OneLungRacing #DaimlerReitwagen #FirstMotorcycle #MotorcycleHistory #Daimler #1885 #MotoHistory #VintageMotorcycles #ClassicBikes #BikeLife #Moto #MotorcycleFacts #BikerCommunity #TwoWheels #MotoLegend #ClassicMotorcycle #VintageMoto #BikeHistory #RideOrDie #MotorcycleOrigins #MotorcycleLovers #WilhelmMaybach #GottliebDaimler #MotoBeginning
