Juwel Sidecars

A Brief History of the Marque

The company was founded by Alfred Jockisch around 1920. The registered business name in the city archives of Leipzig list the company as 'Alfred Jokisch Fahrzeugbau Gmbh' and was also known as 'Juwel-Leipzig'.

Juwel was influential pioneering the torpedo-shape, and in 1940 was granted a patent for a pendulum sidecar. It was his final year of production.

Many types of of sidecar bodies and chassis were offered, most of them suitable for large-capacity motorcycles designed for sidecar useage.

These heavy sidecars featured excellent suspension systems including, on some models, adjustable shock absorbers. One of the more interesting models was a side-by-side two-seater with a comparatively light weight of 60 kg. These were used by the Hellenic Gendarmerie from 1938 until 1940.

Juwel two seaters
Dear sir,
I've come across your site, through the FB Page for BMW R-12 (https://www.facebook.com/groups/265899476911770/?multi_permalinks=2809624042539288¬if_id=1722349704234807¬if_t=feedback_reaction_generic&ref=notif).
I made an inquiry about the Juwel two seater side cars that were used by the Hellenic Gendarmerie from 1938 until the 1940. Is there any information about the colour of the side car? Seems like a two tone scheme.
Thank in you in advance

Have no information on the two-tone colour scheme used for that model at present, but this page may help: Paint and Colour Schemes
