H. " as a maker of detonators (Zünder- und Apparatebau can be German for Igniter along with Apparatus). In 1919, as the demand regarding weapons parts declined immediately after WWI, Neumeyer became the sole proprietor on the company, and two years later he diversified in to the construction of motorcycles.Following WWII, Zündapp expanded into the microcar, moped and Scooter (motorbike) markets. The company collapsed inside 1984.Zuendap. biz markets markets cycle and electric bicycles while using Zundapp name and logo design. while Zuendapp.com markets "enduro-sport" motorcycles under the Zundapp brand.

The very first Zündapp motorcycle was the model Z22 in 1921. This was the Motorrad für Jedermann ("motorcycle regarding everyone"), a simple, reliable design that was manufactured in large series. Zündapp's history of weighty motorcycles began in 1933 while using K-series. The "K" refers to the type of drivetrain that these designs used, Kardanantrieb, meaning enclosed driveshaft with two universal joints. Zündapp introduced the enclosed crankcase (a novelty). The series encompassed versions from 200 to 800 cc displacement and was a major success, increasing Zündapp's market share in Germany from 5% within 1931 to 18% with 1937.The Zündapp KS600, first released in 1938, had a 28 hewlett packard (21 kW) flat opposed twin cylinder powerplant with overhead valves displacing 597 closed circuit (36. 4 cu in).

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

By 1931 Ferdinand Porsche as well as Zündapp developed the prototype Auto für Jedermann ("car with regard to everyone"), which was the first time the name Volkswagen had been used. Porsche preferred the 4-cylinder flat engine, but Zündapp used any water-cooled 5-cylinder radial serp. In 1932 three prototypes were running. All three cars were lost over the war, the last in any 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 were being built. From 1940 onward Zündapp produced a lot more than 18, 000 units of the Zündapp KS 750. This is a sidecar outfit which has a driven side wheel plus a locking differential, supplied to the German Wehrmacht.Zündapp also made aircraft engines such as 9-092, which was used throughout light aircraft, including the Brunswick LF-1 Zaunkönig (1942) ab initio trainer aircraft.

In 1951 Zündapp released the past of its heavy street bike models, but one of its most well-known: the KS601 (the "green elephant") having a 598 cc two-cylinder engine. From 1957 to 1958 the corporation also produced the Zündapp Janus microcar.In 1958 the firm moved from Nuremberg to Munich. Subsequently, the company developed several new smaller models, discontinued the development of four-stroke engines and only produced two-stroke models.
