Bushbury ElectricFour-Wheel Electric Car
Production1897
Recorded originUnited Kingdom
ClassOpen four-wheel electric car
Four-wheel configuration preserved from David Burgess Wise's marque account, which explicitly says Bushbury Electric appeared in both three- and four-wheel forms and that some used reins. No surviving summary distinguishes its body, steering or electrical specification from the three-wheeler. It remains a separately evidenced wheel-layout family with the build-status conflict disclosed, not a claim of series manufacture.

How this is measured → This record contains useful sourced evidence, but it does not yet meet the reference-ready standard. Still needed: attributed imagery. Fields we cannot source stay empty rather than guessed.
Research notes
The standard automobile encyclopedia reports a four-wheel model, while another detailed account says only the photographed three-wheeler was built; no total is assigned.
