DKW was founded in Zschopau in 1919 by Danish engineer Jorgen Rasmussen and built its first motorcycle power unit, a single-cylinder, clip-on engine for bicycle attachment, in 1921. Designed by Hugo Ruppe, this 122cc motor was a two-stroke and DKW would remain faithful to this engine type from then on. Ruppe's engine was dubbed 'Das Klein Wunder' (the little wonder) . 'The little wonder' was an immense success and DKW was soon supplying engines to a host of other German manufacturers. In 1925 a very successful model was launched, the E 206, which was powered by a 64x64mm 206cc single-cylinder engine, weighed 75 kilograms (165lbs) and had a top speed of 70km/h (43mph). Fully restored, this machine is offered with German registration papers.

With bodywork in immaculate condition and authentically worn seat.
