What was originally called a draisine?
running machine
horse cart
sewing machine
three-wheeled car
The eponymous term is derived from the German inventor Baron Karl Drais, who invented his Laufmaschine (German for "running machine") in 1817, which was called Draisine in German (vélocipède or draisienne in French) by the press. It is the first reliable claim for a practically used precursor to the bicycle, basically the first commercially successful two-wheeled, steerable, human-propelled machine, nicknamed hobby-horse or dandy horse.

Co pierwotnie nazywane było drezyną?
rower biegowy
kolaska konna
dorożka miejska
trójkołowy „automobil”
Pierwotnie drezyną nazwany został zaprezentowany 12 czerwca 1817 r rower biegowy (dwukołowy welocyped) zaprojektowany przez Karola Draisa (po niemiecku; „Draisine”). Siedząc okrakiem na pojeździe i odpychając się stopami od ziemi, Drais przejechał 14 km trasę w niecałą godzinę – w czasie o połowę krótszym niż przejazd poczty konnej.
