  • This very unusual moped is a rare survivor in the UK
  • In extremely original condition for its age
  • The Wittler has seen very little use since 1959

The Wittler & Co. (post war Wittler Bros) was founded in 1924, building motorcycles powered by 250cc two-strokes, in addition to bicycles. They introduced commercial transport tricycles in 1936 powered by 98cc Fichtel & Sachs engines. Post WWII, they built lightweights, mopeds and motorised tricycles using JLO, Sachs and possibly Zundapp or Lohmann engines 1950-1956. There was also a Wittler moped produced in Horsens, Denmark during the 1950s by Hede Nielsens Fabriker. It seems that they were built under license to the German company whose logo they used, but were fitted with engines from VAP, BFC, Estonia, Express and others - there were numerous models.

This very unusual moped is a rare survivor in the UK and in extremely original condition for its age. Made by or produced as a Wittler in 1956, this pretty moped has seen very little use since 1959. It is UK registered and needs recommissioning. A nice little project machine, perhaps retaining the patina.
