By the age of thirteen (1847), he had completed his six years of primary studies in Lateinschule where he showed an interest in engineering. In 1852 he finally decided to take up mechanical engineering, and left his hometown.

Daimler and his lifelong business partner Wilhelm Maybach were two inventors whose dream was to create small, high speed engines to be mounted in any kind of locomotion device. They designed a precursor of the modern petrol engine which they subsequently fitted to a two-wheeler, considered the first motorcycle.

As directors, both Daimler and Otto focused on gas-engine development while Maybach was chief designer. In late 1885, Daimler and Maybach developed the first of their petrol engines.
