Primarily a sidecar manufacturer, the Berlin company produced motorcycles powered by the 996cc JAP v-twin (presented at the 1935 Berlin Exhibition), but production ceased later that year. That year they also introduced Leicht-Motorrad and Volksmotorrad (lightweights) - the F and FS models had 98cc Sachs engines.
The motor-bicycle Type FI had a 100cc Jlo engine, and the damen versions (Types DI and DS) were offered with 100cc Jlo and 98cc Sachs engines. In 1939 they began building 125cc models as per government regulations.
Sidecar Models:
The company owners were the sons of Ernst Bauermeister who had built EBS motorcycles in Berlin.
Notes.
1. Favorit motorcycle and sidecar production may have continued until 1943.
