Amazing, looking at Edison's batteries in series just like a set of thundersky's in a modern EV! Looking to the past for future solutions! How ironic. Keep 'em comin lock! They are very cool!

Another very important Innovation by Wilkinson Sword.
I have made a replica in a recumbent style.
Attached is a summary and a few photos.

You have great skillz comfybob! Thanks for these pics! Wish these were electrics and suspect in your hands they could be made so easily (while still appearing to be gas vehicles) SWEEEEEET! Maybe not to EVeryones tastes but I think they are gorgeous.
Thank you again SIR!

True that re the Edisons, evmotorcycle.org (and I thought MY full name is a bit of a mouthful hehe)

Dunno if I CAN "keep`em coming" as the pics so far represent quite a few hrs of culling the web (as it exists at the moment.) Comfybob has a few *Sterling* images of "vintage" vehicles on his pages... I'll ask if Ok
tks

New York Electric Vehicle Transportation Company. Taxi service began in March 1897, and by 1899 there were 60 electric cabs having a top speed of 15 miles per hour in operation in New York City.

Likely it was one of these that ran over and killed Henry Bliss in 1899, North Americas first death by auto...
