Buschkamp Motorcycles

A Brief History of the Marque

Manufactured by Carl Buschkamp, 1930-1954

Das ideal Volksmotorrad für Jedermann

Founded in Bielefeld in 1930 by Carl Buschkamp who had previously had interests in Dusseldorf, the Buschkamp motorcycles were fitted with JLO engines of 98cc to 118cc and produced Volksmotorrad as well as more sophisticated machines until 1939.

At war's end they resumed production, initially with machines similar to the pre-war models and finally, in 1953, machines with Sachs engines, after which motorcycle manufacturing ceased that same year.

Erich Uthoff, nephew of the company founder, joined the company in 1950 and assumed management in 1960. By 1970 his son Egon Uthoff was manager, and in 1980 Egon's son Jürgen began working with Buschkamp. Jürgen became manager in the year 2000.

Hello From Germany,
my name is Folker Axmann from Germany and I am an owner from two „Buschkamp Mopeds“ from Bielefeld.
Do you want some more infos about this very rare Mopeds? (Images and other informations?)
I have owned one since 1984 and I was able to acquire the other in the spring 2024. Perhaps only 5 to 10 of the Mopes were built. (Book source e.g.: Johann Kleine Venekate, Motorräder aus Bielefeld)
Kind regards,
Folker
