KREIDLER model history
From 1951, KREIDLER presented the Model K 50, in cooperation with Rex, one of the first vehicles in the 50cc class, which was already designed for this purpose, although the term "moped" was only introduced later. in 1957, KREIDLER introduced the Florett (K 54) moped model, which was powered by a horizontally mounted single-cylinder two-stroke engine. This had a hard chrome-plated light alloy cylinder and was cooled by a fan. A moped version of this model was also offered. After economic difficulties and a new start under the Cycle Union umbrella, various scooter models with 50, 125 and even 250 cc were offered from 2008. the E-Florett, an electrically powered scooter, was added in 2015.
