• Page 26 DRIVING AND OPERATION OF CONTROLS Removing scooter Take hold of handlebars and push machine forward. At the same from stand time place your left foot in front of stand to avoid movement, and roll machine off stand. When the engine has been started (neutral gear), pull the clutch lever and turn the gear control twist–grip to position 1.
• Page 27 Locking of the wheels should be avoided. Use both brakes together if possible. Your TOURIST four–stroke engine, in contrast to a two–stroke engine, will take over a large part of the braking on long descents.
• Page 28 The machine is held on the left side by the handlebars and the Putting on stand stand pressed to the ground with the foot. Whilst holding the scooter by the handlebars, pull it smartly backwards until the catch of the stand is reached. This is done without difficulty and without having to lift the scooter.
• Page 29 SCOOTER MAINTENANCE AND CARE Cleaning The reliability of operation and the service life of the machine depend to a great extent on maintenance and cleaning. Very often, trouble and annoyance can be traced back to lack of proper care. The highly–polished coachwork is best washed with a sponge under running water and afterwards dried with a chamois leather, as is done with any car.
• Page 30 When replacing the rear body cowling, take care to connect the stop light cable to the correct connectors. When fastening the frame–retaining bolts, make quite sure that the cables for the braking Note! and tail lights are not trapped under the frame (danger of short–circuiting).
• Page 31 Engine Maintenance Lubrication is of particular importance with a four–stroke engine and the instructions for oil– changing must therefore be strictly adhered to. Use only proprietary oils such as Mobiloil Special for the whole year round or Mobiloil AF in the summer (SAE 40), and Mobiloil A in the winter (SAE 30).
• Page 32 open the oil filter plug (1) at the top of the cylinder cover and extract the drain plug at the bottom of the engine housing (Figs.3 and 4). When the old oil has drained away, replace the drain plug and fill with just over 1 3/4 pints of proprietary oil such as Mobiloil Special. Turn over the engine for a short time in neutral and then drain the engine oil again.
• Page 33 Checking the engine oil level Pull out and wipe dipstick (Fig. 4), then re–insert it as far as the screw cap. Check the oil level every time you fill up with petrol; it must never fall below the bottom mark on the dipstick. The maximum level is to the top mark on the dipstick.
• Page 34 Wash all parts in petrol, blow through the jets and reassemble. Re–adjust the needle position and the air control screw exactly as it was. Should the carburettor adjustment become changed, do not experiment but call on your HEINKEL Service Agent. Carburettor setting For carburettor adjustment see P.

• Page 39 If, with a cold engine, the throttle is operated several times,the pump injects into the mixing chamber amply sufficient petrol for starting. The cylinder of the accelerator pump is the lower enlarged extremity of the pump needle jet, into which the pump piston with valve disc and the pump valve screw are inserted. The pump spring presses the piston against the bottom end of the jet needle.
• Page 40 The inflow of fuel during fast running is determined by the main jet (16); with the engine running not so fast (about 3500 r.p.m.), the inflow of fuel is determined by the pump–needle jet (10) and jet needle (8). The idling jet (17) fixed on the carburettor housing by the idling jet return screw (18) provides for correct quantity of fuel necessary for idling.
• Page 41 Micronic air filter The micronic air filter needs no servicing. It keeps any dust out of the engine. The life of the paper filter insert therefore depends on the amount of dirt handled. In town and on tarred roads, it should last some 5000 miles.
• Page 42 Clutch Power is transmitted to the gearbox by means of a multi–plate clutch. Special care must be taken that the clutch lever on the handlebar has 1/16”–1/8” play. If there is too much play, the clutch does not disengage freely; too little play causes the clutch to slip and results in rapid wear. The adjuster screw for the clutch control cable is placed on the left hand engine housing cover.
• Page 43 Gear change control The gear is changed by twist–grip control on the handlebars. Gear change from handlebar to gear shift lever is by two Bowden cables. Locking of the gears in the twist–grip can be suited to the touch of the driver by adjustment of the screw (between the figures). For readjustment of the gear–shift, adjuster screws are provided on the clutch cover (see Fig.9).
• Page 44 The Brakes The front brake is adjusted by the Bowden cable adjuster screw on, the hub brake disc at the right–hand side. If the adjustment of the screw has reached its limits, the adjuster screw is screwed in completely, and the brake actuating lever is advanced by removing nut 3, prising actuating lever from the cam spindle and replacing one notch clockwise.
• Page 45 Only adjust the brakes as far as is necessary for the wheels to turn slightly, without grinding; however, have no more clearance than is necessary. Brake shoes on which the linings are worn out, should be exchanged at your HEINKEL Agent’s. µ...

Push the little metal flop aside and remove the plug, using the box spanner. When screwing in the spark plug, do so by hand, using the spanner only for final tightening, so as not to damage the thread.

Changing the Tyres Since, in our experience, more strain is put on the rear tyre than on the front tyre, it is advisable, in the interests of even tyre wear, to change over the front and rear wheels every 1850–2500 miles.
• Page 53 Removing the tyres Make it a principle never to use force when removing or fitting tyres! Unscrew the valve caps and screw out valve insert with reversed cap, let the air out and unscrew rim nuts from the valve.

Heinkel Tourist June 1 1962

HEINKEL TOURIST

Cycle World Scooter Test

ACCORDING to the makers of the Heinkel Tourist, it is a “de-luxe long range scooter with a world famous engineering name ..." If any of our readers were vacationing in Europe somewhere between 1942 to 1946 we are certain they have heard the name before. The Heinkel HE 70 and HE 111 airplanes were some of the most formidable in the air and literally bristled with engineering innovations that were new to aviation.

Heinkel’s current model is another example of an interesting engineering approach surrounded by a handsome body package. As the name “Tourist” implies, the Heinkel was designed for comfortable long distance travel. For this purpose it would be difficult to find a scooter more ideally suited. The smooth, one-cylinder, 4-cycle engine is quiet and the rated 12 hp gives an amazing performance considering the size and weight of the machine. In heavy traffic we easily stayed ahead of the main flow of traffic while thoroughly beating many automobiles in the process.

Quite naturally the weight is an asset to riding comfort, though it usually detracts from handling ability. We objected to the weight and bulk of the Heinkel, but considering that it is primarily designed to haul two people, plus a certain amount of luggage or camping equipment, in comfort and for long distances, our objections were easily over-ridden.

The Heinkel takes a back seat to few two-wheeled vehicles in the performance department; the acceleration from a standstill to average allowable traffic speed is amazing, considering the 175cc engine. Top speed is over 60 mph and it imparts a considerable degree of confidence with its excellent stability at this speed. One of CYCLE WORLD’S staffers, when following another in his automobile behind the Heinkel, remarked how much it looked like a full size motorcycle when being ridden through a series of “S” bends. As with any machine, the success, or failure, of its handling abilities lies in its suspension geometry.

We especially liked the front end arrangement. In place of what has become almost common scooter design, the trailing or leading arm system, the Heinkel employs a type more conventional to motorcycle design, straight telescopic forks. We have to confess to preferring the straight fork arrangement as the degree of rider control is greater and it does not have the “spongy” feeling that the multi-link front end system gives. The Heinkel drives through and over the roughest and deepest troughs on the worst street near our offices in a secure manner. The absence of the typical leaping of most scooters through sharp dips further proved the validity of our preferences.

The Heinkel deserves special praise for its styling; not a member of the staff disagreed with the summary of its design — one of the best looking scooters we have ever seen, decorative and yet quite practical in concept. The overall finish is also excellent.

Several claims of unusual construction are qualified for the Heinkel as well, one being the interesting frame upon which the engine and transmission, suspension systems and body are mounted. It consists of a tubular structure that runs in a conventional motorcycle fashion from the steering head down, and then forks over and under the engine. The upper traverse serves as a firm hanger for the body, the lower portion holds the engine in three rubber-bushed mounts that almost completely absorb engine vibrations. The vibration-free characteristics must be considered another excellent feature of the Heinkel.

A brief technical description includes: 4-stroke, single cylinder, 60mm bore, 61.5mm stroke, 174cc capacity, compression ratio 1:7.4, air-cooled engine that is rated at 12 hp @ 5750 rpm. 4-speed gear box operated by a left hand twistgrip, 4.00 x 10 tires, 329 lbs total weight, fuel consumption approximately 50 mpg, and electric starting; price is $595.00, FOB West Coast. •

German Postal Service – 1962 Heinkel Tourist Model 103 A2

In Germany , Scooter by Abhi February 23, 2019 Leave a Comment

After World War II, the Allies banned manufacturers like Heinkel from producing airplanes. They decided to try their hand at personal transport with the production of vehicles like microcars, bicycles, and scooters like the Tourist you see here.

In the home market of Germany, the Tourist was sold as transportation for people who couldn’t afford a car. Outside of Deutschland, this scooter was more expensive than a Lambretta or Vespa and it was marketed as a fancy option – in England they called it the “Rolls-Royce of scooters”. This is a “103 A2”, the last series of the production run – it got a 174cc four-stroke single cylinder engine and it weighed 326 pounds. For more information, check out HeinkelTourist.com The Tourist also served as one transport option for the German Post Office, or Deutsche Bundespost .

While it’s not clear if this example was originally used for postal duties, it sure looks the part now after a restoration approximately a decade ago. While the package is available in Ireland, it’s currently equipped with German plates, registration, and tax book.

Only One In USA? 1957 Heinkel Tourist W/ Wilmsen Sidecar

With well over 100,000 of these scooters having been made, they aren’t as rare as some other makes but there aren’t many of them in the US. This may be the only one in the United States with this rare sidecar. That’s what the seller says about this 1957 Heinkel Tourist 103 A0 scooter with a very rare Wilmsen sidecar. They have this rare scoot listed here on eBay in Colorado Springs, Colorado. The current bid price is $4,444.44 but the reserve isn’t met.

Information that I found on a couple of Heinkel websites says that Heinkel produced just over 34,000 of their Tourist 103 A0 models, which were made between 1955 and 1957 and are now highly sought after by collectors. They are about as unique of a piece of two-wheeled machinery as there ever was. Or in this case, three-wheeled when you include the rare Wilmsen sidecar , possibly the only one in existence in the US.

Heinkel has an interesting history and most of you probably already know that they’re a German company. They built aircraft during World War II, partially with the use of slave labor, so there’s a very dark history there. A lot of folks won’t own anything from certain countries due to family history in fighting wars and I get that 100%. I just thought I’d mention that as it may have come up in the comments. Ok, back to this scooter.

Barn Finds has shown exactly one Heinkel vehicle in the past and it was their “car”, or microcar: the Kabine 150 as seen here . According to the Heinkel Tourist website, 17 Tourist 103 A0s are known to be in the United States at this time but only one with this sidecar. It’s almost more a case of buying the sidecar and getting a Heinkel Tourist scooter thrown in. The seller thinks that the paint may be original on the Heinkel scooter which would be really outstanding but there are a few issues for the next owner to work out.

The engine is Heinkel’s 173 cc with around 10 horsepower. With a new four-speed gearbox, they were known as the Rolls-Royce of scooters in parts of England given how well-made and solid they were and they were priced above most other scooters of the time. This one runs and drives well but will need new tires at some point. Have any of you owned or even seen a Heinkel Tourist scooter?

Sidecars are cool but at the end of the day it’s still just a scooter.

Nobody frequenting this site is getting in that sidecar!

The reference to alleget slave labor maybe politically correct, is however a historic lie. Heinkel produced some of the most spectaculat fighter planes in history and designed the VTL concept which is used by British Harrier. They also invented the ejection seat which has saved countless pilots lives. In addition Heinkel was one of the jet engine pioneers. As far as their scooter goes, it was a superb machine seconded only by the Bastert Einspurauto or possibly the Röhr Roletta and Zündapp Bella. I have never understood the Vespa madness – a cute ¨scooter¨ but no more, but the Heinkel was a real machine on par with with anything on two wheels and vastly superior to most. The side car I have never heard of, but it looks like a nice design. Anyone who saya, it´s still only a scootter obviously has no idea of what he is talking about.

Do you make the allegation that it is a historically incorrect statement you offered and 0 proof that it is historically incorrect only that they also manufactured other things

“While researching the Sachsenhausen concentration camp that was located just outside of Berlin, I discovered that thousands of slave laborers were forced to work for the Heinkel aircraft manufacturing company. When I began to research the Heinkel company I found a biography of the founder Ernst Heinkel on the website of the San Diego Air & Space Museum. I was somewhat shocked to find that he had been selected for their International Air and Space Hall of Fame.” Must have been another Heinkel you were referring to.

Due to political and social restraints as they (wisely) apply to this forum, I cannot answer in detail. Now take a deep breath, count to ten, go to the fridge and get another Corona, open it, pour it into a glass like a civilized person and enjoy it. Cheers and Beers, Gerard

I have no interest in scooters, but this is one of the coolest items on Barn Finds!

Heinkel Flugzeugwerke used forced Jewish labor, starting in 1941.[7]

And if this is an issue then take down Herr Frederick’s political post.

Its KOOL! Thats really all that needs to be said? Bid or blow by all the irrellevant BS! Just my take.

sorry ppl R so stoooopid. Man’s inhumanity to man knows no bounds (on ALL sides). We need to banish war, prejudice and a bit of anger.

Cool machine (over all and in detail) no matter who made it. I hate what H. Wienstine did, I can enjoy some of his movies (arrest’n prosecute, move on in life). Sorry for the politics & my own preachiness. Back to “our” topic~

Auction update: it didn’t sell the first go-round and was relisted and didn’t sell again at a high bid price of $5,801.56.

History of Heinkel Perle

Some HEINKEL Motorcycle Manuals & Wiring Diagrams PDF are above the page.

Heinkel produced a Perle moped from 1954 to 1957.

Moscow metro to be more tourist-friendly

For many years now, Moscow has lagged behind St. Petersburg when it comes to making life easy for tourists, especially where getting around the city is concerned. Whereas the northern capital installed English-language maps, signs and information points throughout its subway system in the late 2000s, the Russian capital’s metro remained a serious challenge for foreign visitors to navigate.

Recent visitors to Moscow may have noticed some signs that change is afoot, however. In many stations of the Moscow subway, signs have appeared on the floor – with large lettering in Russian and English – indicating the direction to follow in order to change lines. Previously, foreign visitors using the Moscow metro had to rely solely upon deciphering the Russian-language signs hanging from the ceilings.

Student volunteers help tourists find their way in Moscow

However, this new solution has a significant drawback. “The floor navigation is visible only to a small stream of people – fewer than three people per meter. During peak hours, this navigation will simply not be noticed,” said Konstantin Trofimenko, Director of the Center for Urban Transportation Studies.

One of the biggest problems for tourists in the Russian capital remains the absence of English translations of the names of subway stations in the station vestibules and on platforms. The Department of Transportation in Moscow has not commented yet as to when this problem will be solved. However, Latin transliterations of station names can already be found in the subway cars themselves.

Finding the right exit

At four of the central stations – Okhotny Ryad, Teatralnaya, Ploshchad Revolyutsii, Lubyanka and Kuznetsky Most – the city authorities have now installed colorful stands at the exits with schematic diagrams of the station’s concourse and surrounding area, which provide information about the main attractions and infrastructural facilities.

The schematic diagrams are the work of British specialists from the City ID and Billings Jackson Design firms, who have already implemented successful projects in New York and London.

According to Alexei Novichkov, expert at the Design Laboratory at the Higher School of Economics, the design of these information booths raises no objections: The color solutions, font, layout and icons are consistent with international standards.

However, the stands do have some shortcomings. “Many questions are raised about the fact that the developers of these maps did not apply orientation to the north, and have provided layouts of the surrounding areas with respect to the exits,” says Novichkov. “A system like that is used for road navigators, but most of the ‘paper’ guides and maps are oriented strictly to north. The subway map is also oriented to north, so people may become confused.”

Muscovites and foreign visitors are generally positive about these navigation elements, with most of them citing the numbered exits from the subway as the most useful feature.

The fact is that many Moscow subway stations have several exits. One of the busiest central stations of the Moscow subway in particular, Kitay-Gorod, has more than a dozen exits. Previously, these exits were differentiated from each other only with signs in Russian referring to the names of streets and places of interest to which they led – making it easy for tourists and those with poor navigation skills to get confused.

Now, when making an appointment to meet a friend, instead of struggling to find the right spot when they tell you: “I'll meet you at the exit to Solyanka Street,” you can just propose to meet under a specific exit number.

“I’ve lived in Moscow for seven years,” says Angelika, a designer from Voronezh, “but I still don’t always know where to go to find the place I need, so the new schematic diagrams will be very useful. Previously, some subway stations had maps, but not with so much detail.”

Teething problems

Foreigners, meanwhile, focus their attention on other elements. “It is good that the new information boards have QR-codes, which can be ‘read’ by smartphones,” says Florentina, a writer from Vienna. But there are also shortcomings. “The English font of the information on posters and in the captions to theaters and museums is too small – you have to come very close to see it well,” she says.

Pleasant encounters on the streets of Moscow

Florentina was also dissatisfied with the fact that such posters are not provided at all subway stations: “When I was trying to find Tsaritsyno Park (a museum and reserve in the south of Moscow) at a subway station with the same name, it turned out to be quite difficult,” she says.

“There are no maps with landmarks for other areas, such as those already in the city center. There were no clear pointers in the English language, and the passers-by I met did not speak in English, so they could not help me,” she adds.

Officials say that the navigation system is gradually being redeveloped and improved. According to Darya Chuvasheva, a press representative for the Department of Transport of Moscow, the introduction of a unified navigation system will take place in stages.

“By the end of 2014, the system will first appear on the first subway stations on the Circle Line. By the end of 2015, we plan to install the system at all major stopping points, subway stations and transport interchange hubs,” says Chuvasheva.
