    Many of you are wondering how the car works. The larger lever works like a steering wheel. The smaller hand lever controls speed and operates as a transmission of sorts with two forward notches and a neutral notch. Pull the lever all the way back and an electric brake will work like modern regenerative braking. The pedal on the right is a brake pedal like a modern car brake that works on the brake shoes. To go into reverse you press the left pedal down and then pull the control lever back even further than the braking position and the car will go backwards. There are two backward speeds. To go back into drive you push the control lever forward again and the reverse pedal will pop back into its normal position and you merrily go along.

    Not gonna lie, it looks like the most fun you can have with a 30mph mobile sitting room. This would be such a cool little city car! Replicas need to be made. [edit after seeing the BAT auction] Well that bidding went up fast. I hate that vintage electrics are so damn expensive. Toys for the wealthy that won't ever see use. So I repeat, replicas NEED to be made. And sold at a reasonable price.

      According to Schlaboubve laws it would be forbidden

      You should contact the car companies to demand they spend millions to make cheap cars that nobody will buy.

    Interesting controls, something between a boat's tiller for steering, and a tram. I love the crystal vases mounted on brackets, they are such an absurdly dainty, decorative feature.

    That electric motor and drivetrain are amazingly quiet it seems, especially for something over 100 years old! You explain it has two forward notches, but it looks like you actually operate four? lovely car, even the creaks and bumps add to the caracter. imagine running it on modern batteries to get a decent range, speed seems enough for in town. Thanks for sharing!

      Old german pre war electric locos are also very quiet! ruclips.net/video/oO_ibgO3IGk/видео.html

    The controls are like those on trains

      The engine controls are exactly the same as the 1940's vintage tram I drove a year ago or so. Main difference here is less power, and the ability to turn! :D

    You know, if the day comes where all internal combustion vehicles are banned from the roads, I would still be enjoying vintage motoring with these early electric beauties.

    Accelerated so hard the strap florped off the window sill. No but seriously, I'm glad someone invented the steering wheel, the double tiller looks awkward af.

    And Tesla thought they were the first to remove the steering wheel from their EV

    Driving for uber could be awkward, with passengers on those front jump seats facing the driver.

    Imagone this on lithium ion batteries and a 300 mile range😂😂😂 so quaint! Love the notch style accellerator, just like a streetcar, sounds like a trolleybus. Wheres the brake? Jm

    Would I be correct in thinking that one of those floor pedals engages reverse, as it does in the Ford Model T? What a superbly elegant piece of history, and those controls are so simple - yet to anyone brought up on modern motoring, so unusual.

  • @mwwhatever
    @mwwhatever 23 часа назад

    Upper bar is "throttle", lower bar is steering, right pedal is brake? What's the left pedal? Clutch? Reverse? Looks pretty cool

    • @PreWarMotoring
      @PreWarMotoring  22 часа назад

      The left pedal allows the control lever to move further backwards to make the car go into reverse.

    Is this just running on lead acid? What kind of setup does it use for charging?
