Heilo Motorräder

A Brief History of the Marque

Manufactured by Motorradfabrik Heilbrunn & Co., Bauerngasse 21, Nuremberg, 1923 - 1925

The first model was a belt-drive 250 with Druid-style forks, bearing a strong resemblance to the Zundapp. In 1925 they introduced a model which shared design features found on the Cotton and was powered by their own 346cc two-stroke with transmission via a three-speed gearbox and chain drive. Brakes were internal expanding drum front and rear.
