In 1923 the firm used its expertise as a builder of airships to construct motorcycles. These had the appearance of a Zeppelin and were named the Tropfen-Motorrad. Few were made.
One source says they were powered by 142cc DKW engines, another states that they constructed motorcycles powered by their own 348cc and 308cc two-stroke engines.
