Heinkel Classic Motorcycles

Heinkel was one of the great aircraft designers, responsible for some of the best German fighters of WWII. In 1949 they designed their first scooter but production did not begin until 1954 when the Tourist appeared, an advanced design with electric start, 4-speed gearbox and 12 volt electrics. In 1956 they began building the Kabine, a two-seater three wheeled bubble car inspired by the Italian ISO. The machine used the mechanicals of the Tourist with a fully enclosed cabin and weight less than 250kg.
