HOFFMANN HISTORYHoffmann was a bicycle manufacturer in Ratingen-Lintorf. Germany. Between 1948 and 1954 the company also manufactured motorcycles. It made a range of models using engines from 125cc to 250cc made by ILO. and the Gouverneur. which had a transversely-mounted 248 cc flat twin four-stroke engine designed by Richard K??chen. and shaft drive. The Gouverneur was developed into the MP 250-2 and finally. in 1953. the S 300 model. From 1949 to 1954 Hoffmann also made at least 60. 00 Vespa motor scooters under licence. A licencing dispute brought this to an end in 1954. At the same time Hoffmann also withdrew from making its own motorcycles. and had further legal problems with their microcar. the Auto-Kabine.
