Brand & Söhn Motorcycles

Manufacturer: Brand & Söhn. G.m.b.H. Berlin W 35, Kurfürstenstr. 149
1922-1926

Brand & Söhn built 175cc and 125cc performance two-stroke machines fitted with Bekamo engines built under licence. The frames for these machines were made by DEFA.

The firm also produced the Kurier bicycle engine and distributed it under the Brand & Sohn company name. Brand manufactured frames to accept the Kuriers engines.

Also sold under the B&S marque, the motorcycles were very attractive and quite powerful, but were another to suffer hardship at the onset of the depression.

In 1926 Waldemar Haumann advertised Brand & Sohn and Bekamos giving the same Berlin address, so it appears this firm had taken over the business.
