Car Part Maker – Nicolaus August Otto
Nicolaus invented the gas motor engine in 1876, and this turned out to be one of the most important landmarks in engine design. He built the first practical four-stroke internal combustion engine called the “Otto Cycle Engine.” He was an engineer and an inventor, so it was not surprising that he used the engine to build a motorcycle.
Car Part Maker – Gottlieb Daimler
In 1885 Gottlieb Daimler received the first patent on what is generally recognized as the prototype of the modern gas engine. This engine was small, lightweight, fast, and also used a gasoline-injected carburetor. The size, speed, and efficiency of the engine allowed for a revolution in car part design.
