They did not "get the idea" they had chariots forced upon them by the invading Hyksos, who also introduced new technology for axes, swords and bows.
The Egyptians defeated the Hyksos by learning how to make the copper tools that the Hyksos made.
The southern Theban Egyptians rose up in a revolt against the Hyksos. Three successive kings, Seqenenre Tao, Kamose, and Ahmose, fought continuously against the Hyksos and were able to drive them out of Ancient Egypt.
True. The Egyptians considered the Hyksos as foreign usurpers of the Egyptian throne. When the Hyksos were eventually driven out of Egypt, all traces of their occupation were erased. No accounts survive recording the history of the period from the Hyksos perspective, only that of the native Egyptians who evicted the occupiers. However, conversely, the use of Egyptian names and symbols in the hieroglyphics of later Hyksos rulers indicates that the Hyksos considered themselves relatively Egyptianized.

The Hyksos, when they effectively defeated the Egyptian Army using chariots.
the chariot and horse they probably had more though....
A. bow & arrow, battle axe, curved sword or scimitar, chariot and horse
the war chariot was first invented by the Hyksos...somewhere around the 17th to 18th Dynasty of New Kingdom Egypt.They used the war chariot which overpowered Egypt, allowing them to conquer and establish an empire for the next 100 years...Another version of the invention of the war chariot is that the war chariot was invented in 1500 B.C.E by the Hittite empire.Source: The World's History, by Howard SpodekSince this was so long ago, there is no definite information as to who invented the war chariot and when. What we DO know, is that the Hyksos had it, that the Hittites had it, and that future empires had it.
well in Greece they didn't have chariot races some books might say that but archeology shows that only Rome had chariot races. but in Rome did not actually make chariot racing The Hyksos invented it in1800 - 1550 B.C
As a counter-attack against the pharoe's repeated attack to the Levant.
The Hyksos were foreign invaders and managed to maintain control due to superior weaponry. However, eventually that technological edge began to wane as Egyptians copied Hyksos technologies (like the chariot). The Egyptians, being far more numerous, were able to stage an effective rebellion and drive out the Hyksos occupiers.
A chariot is a wagon basically where you stand up with no back and two wheels and is powered by one or two horses. usually used by the richest in that time period such as the Pharaohs.

1730 B.C. The Hyksos were semites who invaded egypt. They introduced the horse drawn chariot. Their capital city was the delta city Avaris (later Rameses). Their expulsion from Egypt was begun by Kamose and completed by Ahmose. The Hyksos probably were the Pharaohs friendly to Joseph and to Israel. Ahmose, the Pharaoh who expelled the Hyksos, presumably was the Pharaoh who became skeptical of the allegiance of the Hebrews and, therefore, placed them into bondage.
THE HYKSOS were a group of Semitic invaders from the Levant who first brought the chariot into Egypt. (Egypt already had horses, but it was the use of chariots that made the horses a formidable part of a fighting retinue.)
At that point in Egyptian history, Egypt did not yet have the chariot and therefore had no way to defeat the Hittites and Hyksos who used chariots in warfare.
