The Imme, designed
by Norbert Riedel and built in the small southern Alpine village
of Immenstadt Bavaria, was often referred to as "the
German Hobby Horse". The "Power Egg" 100 CC
two stroke engine is mounted on a single steel tubular member,
which acted as the exhaust pipe and the rear swing arm. Both
front and rear wheels appear to have no visible means of support
when viewed from the left; the front and rear forks are single
sided. The Imme was way ahead of its time. Do to its very
low production quantity it was expensive in it's day and now
it's super rare.
This motorcycle is on display at Blue Moon
as part of the permanent collection,
and is not for sale.
