Brief History of the Marque: Cockerell
Fritz Cockerell (whose name was actually Friedrich Gockerell - he's
the 'go' in Megola) began his career as an airship machist and went on
to manage the Megola workshops. Subsequently he developed a variety of
designs including an eight cylinder two-stroke, and later worked on diesels
and Wankel engines.
Cockerell motorcycles included two-stroke flat singles of 110cc to 170cc,
some of which were watercooled, and a prototype watercooled four-cylinder
inline twostroke of 745ccc in 1927. His machines won the 150cc class German
Championship in 1924.

Cockerell motorcycle wreck
Dear Sirs
Is it possible to identify this Cockerell
body. It is numbered with 227 underneath the saddle, left side, up-down
tube at welding joint and rear part with number 226 at left side axle mounting
plate.
Best regards

Thank sfor your fast reply.
Searched through internet and found it is not the Cockerell with 110
ccm engine.
That one is with A-shaped front body.
Found it might not be the one with 169,5 ccm engine. That one has the
straight gearlever to the gearbox.
This one has a stand for gear lever on top of fueltank, on frametubing.
Added a detail photo.
How about some 135ccm.
But watercooled or aircooler? That one is another question.
Many thanks in prehand of your co-operation.
with regards
