An Early Motorised Scooter
The Autoped was an early vision of today's scooters. This was a personal transport system originally developed in 1915. It boasted a 155cc air-cooled engine and a top speed of 20 mph. This scooter was well ahead of its time and included some neat design features that wouldn't look out of place on a similar modern device. It came with both head and tail lamps, a horn and even a toolbox. It was also possible to fold the steering column down to make it easier to store.
The Autoped might well have come about as a necessity due to wartime fuel rationing but it wouldn't catch on at the time - not something that can be said now. Another design well ahead of its time.

#9 Tesla fanboys will believe anything. That idea of electricity through the air is dangerous and so busted.

You're assuming that all frequencies of microwave radiation are dangerous. Tesla lived to a 86 years, despite his exposure to it. Cell phone towers use microwave frequencies.
