History of Motorcycle

Motorcycles have become an important part of our lives these days.  Everyone likes to go to office, college and other work by motorcycle.  We are waiting for the new motorcycle launch.

In the 21st century, the motorcycle industry is mainly dominated by Indian and Japanese motorcycle companies. Apart from large capacity motorcycles, there is a large market for small capacity motorcycles, mostly concentrated in Asian and African countries and manufactured in China and India. Hero MotoCorp has emerged as the world's largest two-wheeler manufacturer. Its Splendour model has sold over 8.5 million to date. Other major manufacturers are Bajaj and TVS Motors.

Let's take a look at the history of motorcycles­-

 The history of motorcycles began in the second half of the 19th century. The first internal-combustion, petroleum-fueled motorcycle was the Daimler Reitwagen, built in 1885 by Gottlieb Daimler and Wilhelm Maybach. The Daimler Reitwagen is considered the first true motorcycle, and Gottlieb Daimler is called the "Father of the Motorcycle.".

 The Daimler Reitwagen was a basic prototype, not a practical transportation solution. In 1894, Hildebrand & Wolfmüller produced the first series of production motorcycles.

 Motorcycles are descended from "safety bicycles," which have similar-sized wheels and a pedal-crank mechanism. Motorcycles are smaller and lighter than cars because they do not have a complete enclosure for the rider and passenger. They typically use low-torque, high-revving engine designs that can produce a lot of peak horsepower.

 After World War II, lower costs, better road networks, and improved engineering led to the widespread success of motorcycles worldwide.

 The oldest motorcycle brand still in production is Royal Enfield, which was founded in 1901. The company has been able to survive this long due to its strong brand recognition, loyal customer base, and commitment to making classic, reliable motorcycles. Royal Enfield has also adapted to changing market demands and has a strong presence in emerging markets, contributing to its longevity.
