- "Ingo-Bike" Scooter, circa 1935 - Brothers Phillip and Prescott Huyssen patented their Ingo-Bike design in 1934. The scooter's rear wheel has an off-center hub. When a rider bounced up and down on the deck, the movement of the rear fork on that eccentric hub drove the scooter forward. Riding required rhythm -- you had to match your motions to the wheel's rotation.
