The company then focused on producing small motorcycles and other two-wheelers, such as this example, very similar to the Victoria Nicky, produced on the other side of the ‘Iron Curtain’. The KR50 was called a KLEINROLLER, or small scooter, with a tubular chassis and a 50cc two-stroke engine, produced in the city of Sömmerda.
This motorcycle was purchased on eBay, in 2010, and restored with many original parts from Germany. It made its debut at the Reid´s Palace Classic Revival in 2013, winning the ‘Best of Show’ award.
