This remarkable 1913 Rauch & Lang Electric Open Roadster represents the pinnacle of early electric motoring and stands as a testament to the innovation of the Brass Era. At a time when the automotive world was still defining itself, Rauch & Lang was already producing refined, reliable electric automobiles for discerning drivers.
Power comes from an 80-volt Hertner electric motor, delivering smooth, quiet propulsion to the rear wheels through a robust worm-drive system. Energy is supplied by 14 six-volt golf cart batteries, providing dependable performance while maintaining the vehicle’s authentic electric configuration.
Unlike gasoline automobiles of the period, this Roadster offers a nearly silent, vibration-free driving experience, showcasing the sophistication that made electric cars highly desirable in the early 20th century.
Elegant, innovative, and historically significant, this 1913 Rauch & Lang is more than an automobile—it is a rare piece of electric vehicle history and a distinguished addition to any serious Brass Era collection.
