Daimler Petrol Driven Reitwagen - Replica
In 1882 Daimler set up a workshop in Connstatt near Stuttgart where he made internal combustion engines. Together with Wilhelm Maybach he produced small, transportable, petrol driven single cylinder engines.
To test the engine’s performance Daimler and Maybach installed it in a two-wheeled wooden framed affair in 1885. In November that year they took their Reitwagon on a 3 km test on the road between Connstatt and Untertürkheim.
