a piece of history

The roots of the Simson works go back to 1856 when the company was initially launched as a weapon manufacturer. The production of motorcycles then began in 1927 with model A, which quickly became popular. In the 1950s, the S51 model was developed, which conquered the market, especially in the GDR. It was robust, easy to wait and was also in uneven terrain - properties that made it a loyal companion for many.

The Simson series has always developed over the years. The market launch of the S50 model in the 1960s and the various versions of the S51 from 1980 underpin the cult status of these motorcycles, which were produced until 2002. The innovative technology, including two -stroke engines and electronic ignitions, made these vehicles unique. Many classic car fans appreciate the simple maintenance and the good availability of spare parts, which keeps love for Simson alive in today's times.
