The Appeal

If you’re used to a Vespa or Lambretta, it’s no wonder this Heinkel 103 A-2 Tourist was referred to as the "Cadillac among scooters".

Equipped with a quiet four-stroke engine with electric start, this was one of the most refined scooters on the market. The large front fairing, elongated wheelbase and large padded seat made it exceedingly comfortable to ride, perfect for those commuting in all weathers.

They’re a very rare sight nowadays, especially in such good original condition as this one. Offered in very good running and riding order, this Heinkel would make an excellent addition to any collection of scooters or else even your daily ride.
