A visionary invention from the late 1800s! This fascinating patent (US621465A) from 1899, designed by Charles A. Storms, shows an innovative bicycle boat that combines the mechanics of a bicycle with the ability to move over water.
The patent drawing illustrates a pedal-based propulsion mechanism mounted on a floating platform, with wheels and a propeller creating propulsion in the water. The idea was to give the rider an efficient and environmentally friendly way to cross lakes and rivers simply by pedaling.
This rare and unique invention captures the essence of creative engineering and is a fascinating insight into a time when inventors thought outside the box to revolutionize transportation. Perfect as a wall decoration for cycling enthusiasts, maritime enthusiasts or those who love historical inventions.
