Up for sale is my nice 1964 Heinkel Scooter Model 103 A2. This awesome running scooter was selected to be on display at the Hershey AACA museum in 2015 for the Scooters for the Masses display. Located in Mechanicsburg PA and listed local. PA Titled and runs beautifully. 175cc. 4 stroke, auto start, 4 speed, hand shift. I have had it and ridden it for several years. I hate to part with it but looking to continue with other toys. Any questions please ask. Local pick up. I am not shipping but will work a shipper you have come in, they crate and move it. Thanks for understanding. A little about the Heinkel Scooter. After WWII, Germany saw its aviation industry dismantled. Ernst Heinkel Kept his company in business by building bicycles and motorbikes. The Heinkel Tourist is a motor scooter make by Heinkel Flugzeugwerke from 1953 to 1965. More than 100,000 were manufactured and sold. The Tourist was sold as an upscale scooter. It was more expensive than a Vespa or Lambretta, and was generally heavier, more comfortable, and more stable. It was available with a speedometer, a steering lock, a luggage carrier, and a spare wheel. It was referred to in England as the "The Rolls-Royce of Scooters" and was advertised by a dealer in Massachusetts as "The Cadillac of Scooters". The Tourist had a tubular steel frame to which pressed steel body panels were mounted. The engine of the Tourist was mounted in the frame and drove the rear wheel by a chain enclosed in the swing-arm. Thus sheltered, the chain ran in a sealed oil bath, extending its life and preventing any oil from contacting either scooter or rider. The engines used in Heinkel Tourists were 4 stroke while most other scooters of the time, had 2-stroke engines.
