Unlike the vehicles of the huge motorcycle firms, which steered like the
Titanic, the small two-wheeler firms found it much easier to change
direction, and Kroboth had his “allwetter-Roller” (all-weather scooter)
ready sooner than most. He used his pre-war experience with centraltube
frames to build his prototype. It used transverse leaf springs up
front and longitudinal ones on both sides of the Sachs two-stroke at
the rear. Steering gear was brought in from ZF in Friedrichshafen, and
the mechanical drum brakes were from aTE. The steel bodywork of the
prototype was hammered out by local firms in the rounded idiom of the
day. Tilting the bench seat gave access to two storage compartments
on either side of the motor. The column-mounted shifter was also high
fashion for the times.
