The world's first electric tricycle was born in 1881. The inventor was the French engineer Gustave Truff. This is a tricycle powered by lead-acid batteries. Electric vehicles invented using primary batteries as power have not been included in the scope of international recognition. Later, electric vehicles with lead-acid, nickel-cadmium, nickel-metal hydride batteries, lithium-ion batteries, and fuel cells appeared as electric power.
