Electriquette

(

)

Two people in an electriquette

... that the Electriquette (pictured) was an electric wicker vehicle which could be rented at the 1915 Panama-California Exposition?

Source: numbered cars that became one of the Expo’s most popular attractions. Rental fees were a pricey $1 per hour, and tens of thousands ponied up.

ALT1: ... that none of the original 1915 Electriquettes (example pictured) were known to have survived but they were reintroduced in 2016? Source: San Diego’s 1915 Panama-California Exposition made a quiet return to the park earlier this year, when a rental kiosk opened outside the Reuben H. Fleet Science Center. They made their official debut last weekend, when Mayor Kevin Faulconer proclaimed Aug. 14 as Electriquette Day in San Diego.
ALT2: ... that the 1915 Electriquette (pictured) was described as an "electrically propelled rolling chair"? Source: source
