KSB Motorrader

Motorcycles built by Kurt Schieback, Bautzen.

Active from 1923 to 1928, from 1924 KSB supplied frames and rolling chassis to other manufacturers, and built his own complete motorcycles powered by Kurier, DKW (142cc and 175cc), Kühne (348cc ohv), Blackburne, and JAP (248cc and 490cc, the latter in both ohv and sv configuration).

Their smaller JAP model was referred to as the Puppchen, and later as the Einheitsmodell. The Kühne model was named Vollblut (Thoroughbred).

1927 Models:

Einheitsmodell model 300cc JAP
350cc side-valve Blackburne, 8 hp
DKW 4 hp
500 cc MAG IOE, 13 hp
500cc MAG OHV, 22 hp, saddle tank.
