The first motorcycle is… 136 years old! The history of the motorcycle does not date from the Hell's Angels and their frenzied Harleys. No, the history of motorcycles began 136 years ago.
It was on December 26, 1868 that Louis Guillaume Perreaux filed the patent for his "Vélocipède à Grande Vitesse", under number 83.691, at the National Institute of Industrial Property. The man had in fact filed the patent for the first motorcycle: tubular structure, engine in the frame and transmission to the rear wheel. Everything is there ! Now we know, the ancestor of Harley, Honda, Yamaha, KTM, BMW… is French.
LG Perreaux's motorcycle is currently on display at the Rétromobile show in Paris. Make an appointment for all the Easy Riders in France!

Ben Christophe, all you have to do is go to the salon.
You leave your wheel there and you repair in TVG (velocipede)
PS: with that you will have the loaves warm (see photo )
