The Nuremberg Hercules company, later owned by Sachs, has made motorcycles since 1904, always with proprietary engines. Because the Hercules name was already in use on bicycles in the UK, later machines for the British market were sold under the Prior and DKW brands. This K50SE ‘Electronic’ is powered by the powerful Sachs engine unit, housed in a strong chassis with, unusually, very robust, Earles pattern, front forks. In original finish it is complete and said to be in good order mechanically. There is an increasing interest in the sports 50s of the ‘seventies and, once restored and recommissioned, this Hercules will provide a good mount. It comes with an Austrian Type Approval document.
