![]() As far as I know, the first electric bicycle patents appeared in the 1890's, so this is an early mention for science fiction, but probably not an original idea.
The first use was probably in an 1895 patent application by Ogden Bolton. The patent application included a drawing of a bicycle with a small electric motor mounted on the front wheel. The motor was connected to the pedals, and it would provide assistance to the rider when they pedaled.
