Facts about the model
Zündapp was a German motorcycle manufacturer founded in 1917. The KS50 was introduced as a lightweight, sporty moped/motorcycle in Zündapp's KS series, which targeted the growing market for 50cc machines.
The KS50 was launched in the 1950s and developed throughout the 1960s with improved engines and chassis. It was built around a 49cc two-stroke engine and came in several variants for both everyday riding and sportier use.
During the 1970s, the KS50 was one of Zündapp's most well-known 50cc models, in fierce competition with Kreidler, Puch and Sachs. The model received technical updates and was available in several versions (for example, more sport-oriented and more practical variants).
Zündapp suffered economic difficulties and wound down its motorcycle production in the early 1980s; the company went bankrupt in 1984. Production of classic KS50 models ceased under the company's own operation.
The KS50 has a strong cult status among collectors and enthusiast clubs. Many examples are still preserved and restored, and the model is regarded as a symbolic example of the post-war 50cc scene in Europe.
