The "Vogel," meaning "bird" in German, was an outdoor leisure bike that packed a lot of playful fun into a small body. Its 8-inch block pattern tires, fuel tank, front and rear carriers and more were designed to create a compact and tough look. It had unique functions and equipment like an engine with the Torque Induction (piston reed valve) system, a 4-speed transmission and handlebars that were collapsible to make it easier to load the bike into cars.
