A brief history of the discovery of motorcycle
Do
you know where they come from motorcycles, nobody had a significant role in the
development of the motorcycle?
There are three people who are recognized as the inventor of the
motorcycle, Ernest Michaux (France), Edward Butler (UK) and Gottlieb Daimler
(Germany). Motorcycles
were first designed in 1868 by Ernest Michaux French nationality. At
that time, the planned propulsion is steam engine, but the project was not
successful. Then
in 1885 Edward Butler tried to improve it by making the other vehicle uses
three wheels and driven by the motor of the type of internal combustion engine.
In 1885 a German engineer Gottlieb Daimler and his partner, Wilhelm Maybach
became the first motorcycle fabricators in the world. Daimler
pair of small four-stroke engine on a wooden bicycle. Machine
is placed in the middle (between the front and rear wheels) and connected by a
chain to the rear wheel. Then
the wooden bike engine was named Reitwagen (riding car).
At that time the vehicle type is not yet known to the public. Until the year 1892, Henry Hilderband of Munich, West Germany introduced a new model motorcycles. And was followed again by Werner Brothers in 1897. The first motorcycle sold to the public was made by the motorcycle factories Hildebrand und Wolfmüller in Munich, Germany in 1893.

In 1895 motorcycle first came to the United States, specifically to the
city of New York. In
the same year, a U.S. inventor, EJ Pennington, in Milwaukee, demonstrate
self-designed motorcycle. Pennington
eventually regarded as the first to introduce the term motorcycle.
In the same year, Triumph, the British motorcycle manufacturer decided to
make motorcycles. Four
years later, 1902, the company produced the first motorcycle, but still using
the machines from Belgium. Later
in 1905, Triumph motorcycle produced its own intact.
In
1903, William S Harley and his friend Arthur Davidson, producing motorcycles in
Milwaukee, United States, and named the Harley Davidson motorcycle. In
1904, another U.S. company, Indian Motorcycle Manufacturing Company, located in
Springfield, Massachusetts, came to the Indian Motorcycle Single.
Then came World War I (1914-1918), the company became a motorcycle
manufacturer with the largest production in the world. Indian
Motorcycle Manufacturing Company closed in 1953 and the Indian brand was taken
over by Royal Enfield.
After World War I until 1928, the company that manufactures the world's
largest motorcycle is a Harley Davidson. In
1921, BMW motorcycle comes with rear-wheel driven using Koppel (shaft drive). In
the 1930's there were about 80 motorcycle brands in the UK, including Norton,
Triumph, AJS, and other brands that are not so famous, like New Gerrard, NUT,
SOS, Chell and Whitwood.
The development of motorcycles in Europe, also sparked by World War II
(1939-1945), where motorcycles are made for military purposes. After
World War II, in 1946, Italian designers, Piaggio, Vespa scooter introduced and
