1922 Model, DKW Lomos Motorscooter
143cc, 2½ hp, 52 kg, 60 kph.
Utilising the same engine as the "Reichsfahrt Modell" the
Motorscooter was equipped with swinging arm rear suspension with
telescopic forks. Something that didn't become a standard feature on
motorbikes, internationally, until the 50's! The backrest acted as the
fuel tank. |
