1886 Benz Patent Motorwagen - Startup and DRIVE - In the Garage with Steve Natale

[@downpatmusic]

OMG that's 10 year older than my late grandmother Rickey born in 1896!

[@rodneyracer]

Did you know the story about Bertha Benz taking the Motorwagen out on a 60-mile road trip without Carl knowing? Great Story! And she took two of the kids along to go visit her mother!

Well, why wouldn’t she, my wife does stuff like that all the time! (Even further than that sometimes)

[@almaquintanillla9358]

I wouldn't mind driving one of those now a days like an electric bike. Very nice!

[@SteveNatale]

You and me both!

[@cathyholcomb3878]

In my younger days I had a 68 Torino with a 390 That Shook like that at idle miss that car😅😢🎉

[@jasonbyle2284]

[@SteveNatale]

It was really fun!

[@이이-t7r6f]

did you make it? how

[@chrisjarvis4449]

so is it one of the English made ones of 1986 or the India made ones ?

[@SteveNatale]

This is one of the high-quality ones crafted in the UK.

It's supposedly about 1 HP. The same year, this was from Gottlieb Diamler in Germany as well. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eYaYlaGOqcubm9E

[@ModManZZZ]

Is that a teplica or a real one?

[@SteveNatale]

Replica

It would be easy to electrify this. Just add a front hub motor and throw all the electronics behind the seat and voila. All you would need is the frame, rear wheels and the steering mechanism.
