Kreidler

The Marque with the biggest impact on 50cc racing have to be the German made Kreidler. The moped factory went a long way to establish their name in the recordsbooks, be it championship road racing or land speed records. The strategy of keeping the racers looking like mopeds did put a damper on the development, but the FIM- change of rules for 69, brought the Kreidlers back on track. The Kreidlers mentioned here covers the period 1959 - 1965 as far as works racers are concerned.
