The first Zündapp motorcycle was this model Z22 in 1921. This was the Motorrad für Jedermann ("motorcycle regarding everyone"), a simple, reliable design that was stated in large series. Zündapp's history of heavy motorcycles began in 1933 with the K-series. The "K" refers to the sort of drivetrain that these products used, Kardanantrieb, meaning enclosed driveshaft using two universal joints. Zündapp introduced the enclosed crankcase (a novelty). The series encompassed versions from 200 to 800 cc displacement and was a significant success, increasing Zündapp's market reveal in Germany from 5% throughout 1931 to 18% with 1937.The Zündapp KS600, first released in 1938, had a 28 hp (21 kW) width wise opposed twin cylinder generator with overhead valves displacing 597 cc (36. 4 cu in). The KS600 was often in addition to a Steib sidecar, the BW38 (Beiwagen 1938). The BW38, fitted with the B1 (Footwear no. 1) sidecar system was produced between 1938 in addition to 1941 and supplied exclusively for the Wehrmacht. While the KS600 was discontinued and at last replaced by the purpose-built KS750, its motor was to get the only remnant to reside beyond the destruction regarding war. When Zündapp returned to motorcycle production in the late 1940s, it chose to recycling the KS600's motor for you to power the KS601 together with few modifications.The Zündapp K800 had unit construction, flat-four engines with the whole length drive (a format adopted by Honda to the Gold Wing in 1974) and were the sole 4-cylinder machines used because of the German armed forces throughout WWII.

By 1931 Ferdinand Porsche and Zündapp developed the prototype Car für Jedermann ("car intended for everyone"), which was the very first time the name Volkswagen had been used. Porsche preferred the 4-cylinder ripped engine, but Zündapp used some sort of water-cooled 5-cylinder radial powerplant. In 1932 three prototypes were being running. All three cars were lost over the war, the last in a new 1945 Stuttgart bombing raid.From 1936 to 1938 Zündapp generated the KKS500 model. This was the first Zündapp using a foot gear change, and 170 examples had been built. From 1940 onward Zündapp produced a lot more than 18, 000 units of the Zündapp KS 750. This is a sidecar outfit with a driven side wheel plus a locking differential, supplied to the German Wehrmacht.Zündapp also made aircraft engines such as the 9-092, which was used within light aircraft, including the Brunswick LF-1 Zaunkönig (1942) belly initio trainer aircraft.

After WWII the corporation transitioned to smaller devices, notably the "Bella" powerplant scooter, which was a relatively heavy machine because of its type. In 1951 Zündapp released a final of its heavy motorbike models, but one of its most famous: the KS601 (this "green elephant") using a 598 cc two-cylinder engine. From 1957 to 1958 the organization also produced the Zündapp Janus microcar.In 1958 the company moved from Nuremberg to be able to Munich. Subsequently, the company developed numerous new smaller models, discontinued the development of four-stroke engines and only produced two-stroke models. Zündapp experienced some achievement in motorsports with participant André Malherbe winning the actual 125cc European motocross titles in 1973 and again in 1974. Initially, Zündapp scooters and mopeds available well, but later sales dropped and in 1984 the business went bankrupt and finished.

As soon as the bankruptcy, the entire production line and intellectual properties ended up being bought by Xunda Electric motor Co., Tianjin, China. They produced small Zündapp cycles from 1987 till their early 1990s. Zündapp is still operational, but makes Honda centered 4-stroke motorcycles and energy mopeds.Zündapp also had some sort of technical collaboration with Noble Enfield (India) to develop mopeds and motorcycles. A dedicated factory seemed to be built at Ranipet near Chennai in the early 1980s to create small, lightweight two-stroke motorcycles to be offered with their flagship Royal Enfield Round. Enfield launched two 50 cc motorcycles first, the step-thru Silver Plus as well as the 3-speed Explorer motorcycle. Later, 175 cc Enfield Fury (determined by Zündapp KS175) was introduced being a performance motorcycle. It had 5-speed gearbox, a hydraulic Brembo disc brake along with a sleeveless hard chromed cylinder barrel, all were a first on a motorcycle in that region.
