In 1919, as the demand pertaining to weapons parts declined after WWI, Neumeyer became the sole proprietor from the company, and two years later he diversified to the construction of motorcycles.Following WWII, Zündapp expanded into the actual microcar, moped and Scooter (street bike) markets. The company collapsed throughout 1984.Zuendap. biz markets markets pedal bike and electric bicycles while using Zundapp name and logo. while Zuendapp.com markets "enduro-sport" motorcycles under the Zundapp brand.

Zündapp's history of heavy motorcycles began in 1933 with all the K-series. The "K" refers to the drivetrain that these versions used, Kardanantrieb, meaning enclosed driveshaft along with two universal joints. Zündapp introduced the enclosed crankcase (then a novelty). The series encompassed versions from 200 to 300 cc displacement and was an essential success, increasing Zündapp's market discuss in Germany from 5% in 1931 to 18% inside 1937.The Zündapp KS600, first released in 1938, had a 28 hp (21 kW) flat opposed twin cylinder powerplant with overhead valves displacing 597 cc (36. 4 cu in).

While the KS600 was discontinued and at last replaced by the purpose-built KS750, its motor was to get the only remnant to live on beyond the destruction involving war. When Zündapp returned to motorcycle production inside late 1940s, it chose to reuse the KS600's motor to be able to power the KS601 together with few modifications.The Zündapp K800 had unit construction, flat-four engines with shaft drive (a page layout adopted by Honda for that Gold Wing in 1974) and were the one 4-cylinder machines used through the German armed forces within WWII.

Via 1931 Ferdinand Porsche and also Zündapp developed the prototype Car für Jedermann ("car intended for everyone"), which was the first time the name Volkswagen seemed to be used. Porsche preferred the 4-cylinder level engine, but Zündapp used some sort of water-cooled 5-cylinder radial engine. In 1932 three prototypes were running. All three cars were lost throughout the war, the last in any 1945 Stuttgart bombing raid.From 1936 to 1938 Zündapp developed the KKS500 model. This was the first Zündapp which has a foot gear change, and 170 examples ended up built. From 1940 onward Zündapp produced more than 18, 000 units of the particular Zündapp KS 750. This is a sidecar outfit using a driven side wheel and also a locking differential, supplied to the In german Wehrmacht.Zündapp also made aircraft engines including the 9-092, which was used within light aircraft, including the Brunswick LF-1 Zaunkönig (1942) abdominal initio trainer aircraft.

After WWII the business transitioned to smaller models, notably the "Bella" powerplant scooter, which was a relatively heavy machine for the type. In 1951 Zündapp released a final of its heavy street bike models, but one of its most well-known: the KS601 (this "green elephant") which has a 598 cc two-cylinder engine. From 1957 to 1958 this company also produced the Zündapp Janus microcar.In 1958 the business moved from Nuremberg to help Munich. Subsequently, the company developed several new smaller models, discontinued the development of four-stroke engines and only produced two-stroke models. Zündapp experienced some accomplishment in motorsports with biker André Malherbe winning your 125cc European motocross competition in 1973 and once more in 1974. Initially, Zündapp scooters and mopeds distributed well, but later sales decreased and in 1984 the business went bankrupt and shut.

They produced small Zündapp motorcycles from 1987 till their early 1990s. Zündapp is still operational, but makes Honda dependent 4-stroke motorcycles and electrical mopeds.Zündapp also had the technical collaboration with Noble Enfield (India) to make mopeds and motorcycles. A dedicated factory had been built at Ranipet near Chennai from the early 1980s to manufacture small, lightweight two-stroke motorcycles to be offered along with their flagship Royal Enfield Bullet. Enfield launched two 50 cc motorcycles first, the step-thru Silver Plus and the 3-speed Explorer motorcycle. Later, 175 cc Enfield Fury (based on Zündapp KS175) was introduced to be a performance motorcycle. It had 5-speed gearbox, a hydraulic Brembo disc brake along with a sleeveless hard chromed tube barrel, all were a first with a motorcycle in that region.
