Following WWII, Heinkel was prohibited from manufacturing aircraft and instead built bicycles, motor scooters and the Heinkel microcar although the company eventually returned to aircraft production in the mid-1950s. Heinkel built the Perle moped from 1954 to 1957, a sophisticated cycle with a cast alloy unit frame, rear suspension, a fully enclosed chain with part of the chain enclosure integral with the swing arm, and interchangeable wheels. This high level of sophistication came at a high cost. As with most mopeds, it had a two-stroke engine with a displacement of 50cc that operated on a mixture of gasoline and lubrication oil. Approximately twenty-seven thousand were sold.
This very unusual Heinkel Perle has been restored at great cost and must be one of the best on offer today. The attention to detail on the restoration by the previous owner must have been a labour of love. This would make a great addition to a cycle motor collector. Part of a collection of small machines the late vendor was gathering it’s not been used for a while and has been up on a platform in the collection. Some light recommissioning would be advised before use. It is offered with a current V5C, sales brochure and booklets.
