Dandy horse
The dandy horse was invented by Baron Karl von Drais in Mannheim, Germany, patented in January 1818; Drais's name for it was Laufmaschine (German for "running machine"), and it also became known as a velocipede, a draisine (but that term is now used primarily for light auxiliary railcars of whatever form of propulsion), and in its French form draisienne.
