future of transportation lay in a personal single-seat vehicle. Carl Jurisch
offered without reserve
was a talented engineer and famous motorcycle racer, but above all, he
was a passionate idealist. at the age of 23, he had already designed
an astonishing, technically ground-breaking motor: a compact, fourpiston,
two-stroke, water-cooled supercharged unit, which 10 years
later, would influence DKW’s work. Two years earlier, in 1925, he
had built himself a 350-cubic centimeter four-stroke motorcycle with
telescopic forks and shaft drive.
The late thirties found him in nürnberg, Germany selling his patented
rear suspension conversions for the typical hard tail motorcycles of
the time. Recovery was the post-war priority, and he helped his rural
neighbours with his truck and repair shop for several years before
returning to selling his suspensions and, later, his enclosed chaincase
conversions, brake hubs, and stepless gearboxes. Motorcycles were in
general decline as the population moved towards cars, and Jurisch
looked for new ways to provide the public with the positive attributes of
his beloved two-wheelers in the form of a small, personal three-wheeled
manufacturer vehicle that bridged Manufacturer the gap between cycle production and car. #
