According to at least one source, when DKW introduced the 1965 Hummel 155, the European cycling press immediately named it the "Tin Banana."I don't think it looks like a banana; I think it looks incredibly cool.
While DKW made bikes as big as 348cc, as well as the world's first Wankel powered motorcycle (the 1975 W2000), they began as a maker of small cycles- indeed, the name DKW is an acronym for "Das Kleine Wunder"- the little wonder. The 49cc Hummel was produced in various versions between 1956 and 1959, most of them not nearly as cool as this one.
