The dandy horse was invented in 1817 by Karl Friedrich Christian Ludwig Freiherr Drais von Sauerbronn and he took his first documented ride on July 12, 1817, setting out from the city of Mannheim and covering a distance of about 13 kilometers in one hour.
He also called it the Draisienne walking machine or Draisienne running machine, Other names for this predecessor to the bicycle are Laufmaschine (1817 German for "running machine), hobby horse, running machine and similarly the Vélocipède (France) bicycle.
