The Horseless eCarriage prototype

Commissioned by a New York City advocacy group as a potential replacement for Central Park's horse-drawn carriages, the Creative Motorworks Horseless eCarriage prototype was designed to evoke the Brass Era sedans of a century ago. Built with flourishes borrowed from several models of the era — from Rolls-Royce to Locomobile — the Horseless eCarriage could travel up to 100 miles on a charge, and while it could hit 30 mph, would be limited to 5 mph while hauling couples through Central Park.
