Heilo Motorräder

A Brief History of the Marque

Manufactured by Motorradfabrik Heilbrunn & Co., Bauerngasse 21, Nuremberg, 1923 - 1925

Apparently based on the Cotton design, it was powered by a 346cc two-stroke of their own design with transmission via a three-speed gearbox and belt or chain drive. Brakes were internal expanding drum front and rear, with girder-style forks.

N.B. An advertisement gives the name H. Liegel & Co. This is possibly a sales outlet.
