The American Juvenile Electric was an electric car made by the American Metal Wheel & Auto Co of Toledo, Ohio, in 1907. Its wheelbase was a mere 3 ft, but it was complete with ‘lights, bells, etc.’ and had tiller steering. Its top speed was 10 mph, and it could go 20 mi on a charge. At $800, it cost more than many full-size cars.
