What were the parts of the first motorcycle?
In late 1885, Daimler and Maybach developed the first of their petrol engines, which featured: a single horizontal cylinder of 264cc (16 in3) (58×100 mm, 2.28×3.94 in) air cooling large cast iron flywheel hot tube ignition system (patent 28022) cam operated exhaust valves, allowing high speed operation 0.5hp (370W) 600 rpm running speed, beating previous engines which typically ran at about 120 to 180 rpm weight around 50 kg (110 lb) height 76 cm (30 in) In 1885, they created a carburetor which mixed gasoline with air allowing its use as fuel. In the same year Daimler and Maybach assembled a larger version of their engine, still relatively compact, but now with a vertical cylinder of 100 cm² displacement and an output of 1 hp at 600 rpm (patent DRP-28-022: “non-cooled, heat insulated engine with unregulated hot-tube ignition”). It was baptized the Standuhr (Grandfather Clock), because Daimler thought it resembled an old pendulum clock. This is probably the same internal-combustion engi
