This is the Hildebrand & Wolfmüller electric scooter, with a water-cooled engine. Very advanced technology for this time given domestic electricity was just starting being a thing.
She better have her permit and it best not be more than 50cc. Cause it’s not electric. Even tho the stand is down. She’s gonna get a ticket and towed either way.
She’s definitely just standing on it rather than riding. No blur, no wind in her clothes, and an obvious kickstand on the bottom. Going to work my ass.

Damn Bird Scooters, they’re everywhere!
I would legit buy one of those scooters today.
Cool pic. Anyone know what the scooter would have cost? Or where she likely parked it at night in 1916?
AKA the LadyBird™ scooter. Bigger wheels are much more practical for the occasional cobblestone street.
Don’t lean on me man
Cause ya can’t afford the ticket
I’m back from Suffragette City

She was not going anywhere. The kick stand is on. Lmbo
I can just see her on a hoverboard…
Look at the engine next to the front wheel, you can clearly see the cylinder with a spark plug sticking out and the exhaust too.

Its clearly a gas scooter
She works for google
It would be cool if these ran on the old Edison DC motors that threw sparks everywhere.
“Check out my sweet ride…”
I hope she never got her skirts tangled up in the wheel. Otherwise, cool as.
They were ahead of us a hundred years ago.
