A Young Roller Skater from the Early 1900s

A black-and-white historical photo shows a man in early 20th-century clothing, including a flat cap and boots, bent over while riding a rudimentary, wheeled mechanical device strapped to his legs. The device appears to be an early prototype of a motorized scooter or personal transporter, with visible wires, a small engine, and multiple wheels. The man is looking down at the machine as if adjusting or operating it. The overlaid text reads: 'i'm not lazy, i'm just conserving energy'.
