Zündapp's history of heavy motorcycles began in 1933 using the K-series. The "K" refers to the drivetrain that these types used, Kardanantrieb, meaning enclosed driveshaft together with two universal joints. Zündapp introduced the enclosed crankcase (a novelty). The series encompassed designs from 200 to 900 cc displacement and was an essential success, increasing Zündapp's market write about in Germany from 5% within 1931 to 18% throughout 1937.The Zündapp KS600, first released in 1938, had a 28 hp . p .

While the KS600 was discontinued and in the end replaced by the purpose-built KS750, its motor was to be the only remnant to call home beyond the destruction of war. When Zündapp returned to motorcycle production from the late 1940s, it chose to recycle the KS600's motor to be able to power the KS601 having few modifications.The Zündapp K800 received unit construction, flat-four engines with shaft drive (a layout adopted by Honda with the Gold Wing in 1974) and were the only real 4-cylinder machines used with the German armed forces inside WWII.

From 1931 Ferdinand Porsche along with Zündapp developed the prototype Auto für Jedermann ("car intended for everyone"), which was the first-time the name Volkswagen has been used. Porsche preferred the 4-cylinder ripped engine, but Zündapp used a water-cooled 5-cylinder radial serp. In 1932 three prototypes were being running.
