Tatra does not build many cars like the NW Elektromobil: a Runabout four seater with 2 electro motors EAG/2, built from 1900 to 1901 when a car was a rich man's adventure and every maker was a workshop.
Where it came from
The NW Elektromobil is an automobile from the veteran era manufactured by the Nesselsdorfer Wagenbau-Fabriks-Gesellschaft (NW), now Tatra, from 1900–1901. Only two cars, which were ordered by Emil Kolben's company, Elektrotechnická a. s., based in Vysočany, Prague, were produced. The two Elektromobils had factory numbers 77 and 83.
Under the skin
Under the skin sits 2 electro motors EAG/2; other versions carried different engines, listed in the specification table below. Kerb weight is 972 kg. The gearbox is a four-speed (plus reverse). The layout matters: the engine hangs behind the rear axle, a layout that gives ferocious traction out of a corner and a reputation to match on the way in. The wheelbase is 2075 mm. These are manufacturer figures carried by Wikipedia and Wikidata, not road-test measurements.
In context
Where it sits in Tatra's history is not in doubt: it was built at Nesselsdorf, Margraviate of Moravia, Cisleithania. On a showroom list of its day it stood against the Dodge Dodge, the Fiat 6 HP, the Fiat 4 HP. Nearby in the Tatra catalogue sit the Tatra 10 and the Tatra 600 kabriolet.
The money
MotorJury scores cars on the United States complaint and recall record, and the NW Elektromobil has none: too old, too rare, or never sold there. Its value today is a collector's question, decided by provenance and condition rather than by a class average.
