A Brief History of the Marque
Manufactured in Bielefeld and Gütersloh 1930s to early 1960s.
Founded in 1899 by Carl Miele and Reinhard Zinkmann, the German company manufactured milk-centrifuges and other dairy equipment. In 1907 the company had 60 workers and from 1911 bicycles were manufactured. The first automobiles were built for the military during the Great War and in 1916 a second factory was established in Bielefeld, production of these ceasing shortly after the armistice.
In the 1930s they produced bicycles and motorised bicycles in various guises including Saxonette rear wheel engine models. In 1927, the Miele vacuum cleaner became popular and in 1929 they introduced the first electric dishwasher.
During World War II they built control units for torpedoes.
Postwar production commenced in 1949 with "simple transport machinery" and the first mopeds appeared in 1953. These machines proved very popular and Miele became one of the largest motorcycle manufacturers in Germany.

Hello, my name is Glenn I have a Miele motor
bike that I am having a very hard time finding background info on. If you
can help, it would be greatly appreciated. It is, as best as I can tell
a bike manufactured in Germany in either 40's or 50's it is a moped, in
that it has pedals and a Sachs engine, complete with leather gun holster
with the Miele logo embossed on it. I have tried to identify this bike,
Miele makes washing machines and such these days, and I am at a dead end
right now.
The Sachs engine displays the following info:
"Fichtel & Sachs A.G. Schweinfurt a.M."
"Mot NR. 248246 Hubraum 97/98 CCM"
"Bohring 48 M/M Hub 54M/M BR.PS. 2.25"
The case has a casting #? 248248
The Bike is a Miele with the following nametag
info:
"MIELEWERKE A.G. GUTERSLOH"
"NO 535038 RG 58"
"HUBRAUM 97.03 CCM"
I have questions.
1) can you help me identify the vintage and
year, I can find NO info on this bike.
2) Are there parts avialable to refurbish
the engine, I am in the process of restoring this bike, but have not gotten
into the engine yet.
3) are there any owners manuals available
(LOL) just need info if some are.
4) any owners of either these bikes or knowledge
of such, please pass my addrerss along to them.
I attach photos of the bike here in hopes that someone can help me identify it as to year and history etc,. Any help you can provide will be more than I have been able to find.
Thanks in advance Glenn mechen at citynet.net
