Early 1900s, as seen in Lindsay, Ontario newspaper from April 23, 1969
"There was also the time when she was a student at the Lindsay Collegiate Institute and rode up the dirt road to the school on the hill on an electric scooter, the first kind to be used in Lindsay."

(Forgive me if I plug here the daughter of a great, great, great uncle of mine.) :)

(And today I promote uphill bike races as a way to show the kick-butt power of electric "assist".) :D

OT, butt here she ("big game" hunter) was returning home with her new kitty cat (lion cub) she had "captured in the jungle" in South Africa where her Canada-born father had been helping the English in fighting those sneaky (Dutch) Boers over one hundred years ago:

Edwin Jenyss ("Jay") Quinby (1895-1981) fought for electric traction as streetcars.

Mentioned on ES re his 1946 manifesto condemning General Motors and the companies stamping out urban electric streetcars:

Magnus Volk (1851–1937) has already been mentioned in the ES Bible several times and EVen has his own entry in that Wiki thingee:

Californian David Chiu? Come on down! (David's now on the not-dead-yet/soon-to-be list.) Cleveland guy! Thing is, in 2015 he initiated AB-1096 Vehicles: electric bicycles in the State of California.

Only mentioned once before on ES (gasp!)... in this thread, indirectly by Master Drunken Stinky Guy... Charles Augustin Coulomb (1736 – 1806). His interest in electrics EVentually led to development of the torsion balance and the discovery of the relation which would become known as Coulomb's Law.

Guys got his own page on Wiki:

Hehe... bit of dark:
“Many people die at twenty five and aren't buried until they are seventy five.”

... one might ask how many times their daughters heard similar words from their father.
(Above quote from Benny F (American Benjamin Franklin, a master of some repute, including his stable of ebikes. And other electric thingees.)

GoE Benny!

... and ANOTHER-in-waiting... Tsuyoshi Hoshino, a senior scientist at the Department of Fusion Reactor Materials Research in Rokkasho Fusion Energy Centre:

Seen on ES here:

Writing in the new issue of the journal Desalination, Tsuyoshi Hoshino, a scientist at the JAEA’s Rokkasho Fusion Institute, proposed a method for recovering lithium from seawater using dialysis. Still years from commercialization, the system is based on a dialysis cell with a membrane consisting of a superconductor material. Lithium is the only ion in the seawater that can pass through the membrane, from the negative-electrode side of the cell to the positive-electrode side.

The method “shows good energy efficiency and is easily scalable,” Hoshino writes.

ACK! ESB "Search found 2 matches: Jedlik"? ACK!

Ányos István Jedlik has his own entry on Wiki:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ányos_Jedlik

... watt says in part:
Ányos István Jedlik (Hungarian: Jedlik Ányos István; Slovak: Štefan Anián Jedlík; in older texts and publications: Latin: Stephanus Anianus Jedlik; 11 January 1800 – 13 December 1895) was a Hungarian inventor, engineer, physicist, and Benedictine priest. He was also a member of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, and author of several books. He is considered by Hungarians and Slovaks to be the unsung father of the dynamo and electric motor.

Should maybe add hip hop artist "Ray J" to the list of the Gods of the Ebike, subcategory "Gods in Waiting" as technically he's not dead yet... it's a rather exclusive Club. Seen in ES Newz here:
