Fahrbau Jean Fuchs und Co. Erkelenz
Located at Hindenburgstraße 30, Erkelenz (now Kölner Straße), in addition to building motorcycles Fuchs sold petrol and ran a driving school. He was well-known as a sporting cyclist and motorist in the 1920s.
Fuchs engines of 114cc were first advertised in the latter half of 1922. Villiers engines were fitted to some models, and it is likely that engines from Snob and Struco were also utilised.
Motorcycle production appears to have ceased around late 1925 , but the business continued until perhaps 1935.
A Fuchs motorcycle with a 169cc two-stroke engine has been displayed at Rheinisches Feuerwehrmuseum in Erkelenz-Lövenich.
