In this updated edition, Frank Rönicke reports expertly, informatively and entertainingly on the creation and development of the Simson bird series. Over 350 unique images illustrate this important chapter in the history of East German two-wheeler production.

Simson Schwalbe & Co

The Simson two-wheelers made the GDR mobile - and many remain loyal to machines like the SR 2 or the S 50 even today. In fact, the classics of the "bird series" have long been legendary in the West and, along with the Trabi, are part of rolling (N)ostalgia.

The history of the small two-stroke bikes and their manufacturer is described here by Frank Rönicke: Photos, brochures and contemporary test reports form a harmonious, loving homage to the unforgettable two-wheelers, spiced with plenty of zeitgeist.
Not forgotten is also the new electric scooter from Govecs based on the Schwalbe: the E-Schwalbe.
