Gottlieb Wilhelm Daimler and his lifelong business partner Wilhelm Maybach developed in 1885 a precursor of the modern petrol (gasoline)
engine. They were granted a German patent for their engine design on April 3, 1885. Daimler and Maybach subsequently fitted their engine to a bicycle to create the first internal combustion
motorcycle. The design was patented five months later.
