I use it to show guests that in may cases, automotive technologies that we think are new are just those that we forgot about and rediscovered. Just like an electric today, it had an overnight charger that was installed in the garage. “Twist and go” hand grip throttle much like a motorcycle.
Marketed mainly to women for their mechanical simplicity. Notice the tall roof, as women’s fashions of the day included tall, ornate hats.
Haha, I assume that marketing guys got away with that back in the old pre-Grrrl-power days!

The production electric car in North America (circa 1890) pre-dated the suffragette movement (circa 1903) by years. So it appears definitely so.
