In 1817, he developed a two-wheeled, steerable, machine. The 50-pound wooden clunky prototype did not have chains, brakes, or pedals. The rider propelled the frame forward by pushing it off the ground with their feet. Drais’s called his invention Laufmaschine (running machine) was known by different names such as ‘hobby horse’, ‘running machine’, ‘velocipede’, and ‘draisine’." (www.steadcycles.com.au)
