Sachs was the largest manufacturer of two-stroke motorcycle engines
in Europe during the fifties, sixties and seventies. These engines were
used by many motorcycle manufacturers, HERCULES being the most important
of them.
HERCULES belongs the Sachs group and the HERCULES bikes were sold under
the Sachs or DKW brand in some countries, Australia for instance. Perhaps
the most interesting bike HERCULES built was the W 2000, sold in some markets
as the DKW W 2000. This was the first production bike with a 27HP Sachs
rotary engine.
Some Herculese machines were fitted with JLO engines.

Nov 20th 2005
Perhaps a little late that I encountered your message about the Hercules
you got from your father. I bought a Hercules K103S in 1967 and had it
for about 2 1/2 years. As you already mentioned, it had 4 gears and 8.2
hp. In that time, there were more small motorcycles of the sort, like the
Zundapp KS100, which had the same amout of hp and gears. It costed me 1.495,-
Dutch Florins. In Euro's that would be about 775,- I travelled daily from
IJsselstein to The Hague (130 km v.v.) and it almost never let me down,
which was quite good in those days. Only two times the Hercules quitted
service: once the ignition timing had gone wrong, the sparkplug overheated
and I made the mistake by not first turning it in by hand. I molested the
thread, so the sparkplug punched out. A local blacksmith in the neighbourhood
of where it happened fixed it temporarely, so I could get to work. The
day after I had a helicoil turned in, which was a very good solution. The
sparkplugs were not the usual 14 mm types, but 18 mm. That kind of sparkplugs
were also fitted in DKW 2-stroke cars. In that time I was engaged to the
wife I'm still married with and we went 2 times on the Hercules on holidays
in Switzerland (2.000 kms v.v. per holiday with local trips ). For that
occasion I mounted high handlebars; after the holidays the original one
was set back.
I also remember that when the ignition timing had gone wrong, the bike
drove backwards when I wanted to drive away after kicking it on. In Switzerland
some spokes in the rear wheel broke, which I had fixed in Spiess near the
"Thuner See" (Lake of Thun). After being returned in the Netherlands, I
had all spokes replaced by those that were used in a Puch 250 SGS motorcycle.
That bike also had 16" wheels. For that purpose, all the wholes had to
be drilled out as those spokes were considerately thicker. The Hercules
steered and braked very well. But as I was young and eager in those days,
I wanted something new and bought a Puch M125. A nice little bike, about
4 hp more, but it couldn't satisfy me in the way the Hercules did.
All that is nearly 40 years ago; many motorcycles came and nowadays
I own a retro styled Kawasaki W650 for four years now. The first time I
own a motorcycle that I don't want to trade in after two years. Last time
I searched for a Hercules K103S and I found one in my own country. Sadly
enough, the owner of the shop died some time before, and his heirs do not
seem to have inherate his skills and knowledge of classic motorcycles.
They wanted Euro 5.000,- (fivethousand). Of course most of us want to get
rich easy, but in this case I begrudged them. (www.classicmotors.nl) In
the end I don't think I have told you something essentially new, but hopefully
the story adds something to your Hercules experience.
With much regards,
Ron Wimmers, IJsselstein, Netherlands

HI,
I Have an 1954 or 57 Hercules, (I lost the original invoice), but no
engine, the bike belonged to my grand father, then to my Dad, and now its
mine. The Bike has been in perfect condition, until last month when
a badly constructed wall, fall over it ( a shame after so many years),
so the reconstruction its gonna be a little bit harder now. Since
it does not have an engine, I'll like to get one, I think It was an 123
cc, or a 250, it use to have an electric starter, according to my late
Father, So any any information regarding this bike will be greatly appreciated,
and if anyone has an appropriate Sachs engine, I'm willing to make a deal.

I found your site and fellow Hercules owners after someone turned me
onto the Google.com search engine. I was amazed to find Hercules owners
in the US...I was beginning to think I was the only one. If I could return
the favor I'd like to point out "dictionary.com"
I've had to send e-mails to guys in Germany and Holland. Their English
isn't that good my German is worse. Dictionary.com has an area that will
TRANSLATE your text...and it works! I can translate my e-mails into German
before I send them. And it will translate German (as well as French and
Spanish) into English. Perhaps if you could post this to your site it might
help with the flow of information.
Cheers,

I own a 1960 Fichtel & Sachs Hercules 125 that I bought at a garage
sale when I was 10 years old. That was 31 years ago, I have tried several
times to find out about this bike, (as it is very much a basket case) and
had little luck so far.
The frame and leading link front forks are in excellent shape, the engine
has been completely dismantled and has been seized at some point in its
past. I'm more of dirt bike enthusiast, but I'd love to see this
thing restored if possible, if anyone can give me any information about
it or directions to someone who can I would greatly appreciate it.
Thank you in advance
It was encouraging to find your site.

Sachs produced a large number of 7 speed enduro bikes in the mid to
late 1970s sold under the Hercules name in the U.S.
I have had the priviledge to own several of these since 1980. I have
many hundreds of hours of trouble free off roading, including some motocross
use, on my first Hercules 250. I still have three of them at this
time.
A little known fact is that Sachs built a small number of motocross
models based on the 7 speed engine, but with a 5 speed gearbox instead.
These were made in very small quantities and sold under the Sachs name
in late 1978 to early 1979. They have a little over 10" of suspension travel
front and rear. The color was blue with a silver frame. Sachs saw fit to
equip them with a floating rear brake, light weight frame, and a large
still air box which are some of the differences that set them apart from
the enduro models. As a matter of fact, the motocross bike is an entirely
different bike.
After a fifteen year search, I was finally able to find one for sale.
It was from a wrecking yard and in pretty bad shape, but most of the major
components are there. I would very much like to talk with someone who owns
or has owned one. I am looking for a source of parts, new or used. Attached
is a picture of a piece of dealer sales literature for them.
