Despite the time slip you have given, it looks a lot like the 1889 electric tricycle built by Marmaduke M. M. Slattery from Ft. Wayne, Indiana.

Really sorry, you are right: the puzzle photo was taken in 1910, the tricycle was built in 1889.
Marmaduke Slattery, chief electrician at the Fort Wayne Jenney Electric Light Company, had this electric tricycle built in 1889. Slattery powered his tricycle with storage batteries--probably of his own design--which reportedly could run for nine hours. Slattery died in 1892 but the vehicle must have remained in the Indiana city--this image was taken around 1910 by a Fort Wayne photographer.

Apologies
