Mopeds - Germany: Illustrated History Books & Guides

Mofas und Mopeds in Deutschland 1965-2000

50 cc two-wheelers were at the lower end of the motorised vehicle range, but for many they marked the first step towards independence.
Whether modest mopeds for older riders or stylish high-risers for younger people, this illustrated book by Frank Rönicke presents them all - through text, images and technical data.
It offers a nearly complete overview of the brands, models, manufacturers and versions that competed for the attention of the young Baby Boomer generation.

Leichtkrafträder in Deutschland - Die 80-Kubik-Klasse seit 1980 (Typenkompass)

After insurance premiums in the 50 cc class literally exploded in the late 70s, a new class was introduced in 1980, which was intended to make people forget the old mopeds with their high premiums.

Today, we wonder why people thought that this would reduce the number of accidents and increase sales. Not surprisingly, it didn't work. By the end of the 80s, this class was dead and the German manufacturers were insolvent.
Until then, however, the youngsters had an unprecedented range of models to choose from, and that is exactly what this nostalgic model compass is about.
