Olunaku lw’ensi yonna olw’ebintu eby’edda lusemberera mu May, omukolo ogw’enjawulo oguvuddeko abantu okwagala ennyo ebyafaayo by’obugaali obw’amasannyalaze. Ka twekenneenye olugendo olwo olw’ekitalo, okuva ku patent okutuuka ku makolero. Wadde ng’ekiwandiiko kino kiwanvu, essira tugenda kulissa ku nsonga enkulu era tukutwale mu buli mutendera omukulu mu nkulaakulana y’obugaali obw’amasannyalaze.
Mu 1885, Ogden Bolton ye yatandikawo obugaali obw’amasannyalaze obuvuga obutereevu-emabega-hub era n’afuna obuwanguzi mu patent y’obugaali obukozesa bbaatule-, ekyalaga entandikwa y’obuyiiya mu kisaawe ky’obugaali obw’amasannyalaze.
Ku ntandikwa y’ekyasa eky’amakumi abiri, omulimu gw’obugaali ogw’amasannyalaze gwakulaakulana nnyo. Mathew J. Steffens yafuna bulungi patent ya nnamuziga y’emabega n’omusipi, n’aleeta obuyiiya mu nkola y’obugaali obw’amasannyalaze. Mu kiseera kino, John Schnepf yawaaba patent ya "roller-type rear-wheel friction-drive electric bicycle," dizayini eyayongera okutumbula tekinologiya w'obugaali obw'amasannyalaze.
Mazima ddala patent zino za kyewuunyo, era zaakola kinene mu myaka egyaddirira. Okugeza, patent ya Mathew J. Steffens ey'okuvuga nnamuziga n'omusipi yakozesebwa nnyo mu nkola za buleeki za roller coaster, ate patent ya John Schnepf ku "roller-type rear-wheel friction-driven electric bicycle" yatumbula enkulaakulana y'amataala ga jenereta n'enkola za ggiya z'okutambuza. Mu makkati g’ekyasa eky’amakumi abiri, Jesse D. Tucker yakola bulungi mmotoka ya freewheeling eyasooka eya patent, n’ateekawo omusingi omunywevu ogw’okwongera okuyiiya mu tekinologiya w’obugaali obw’amasannyalaze.
