2-stroke with iconic status
Anyone who wonders why die-hard moped enthusiasts can't help smiling or grinning broadly when the names Bergsteiger and Belmondo are mentioned should read on. Because we can solve this riddle.
It's not the enthusiasm for mountaineering or for Nouvelle Vague films with Jean-Paul Belmondo that brightens up the faces of moped fans. It is the memory of two of the most popular, most beautiful and most reliable moped models that decisively characterised the golden age of mopeds in the 1970s: the Zündapp mountaineer moped and the legendary Belmondo pearl. How is it that these mopeds remain unforgotten to this day? And why have Zündapp mopeds remained on Swiss roads to this day - more than 50 years after the first examples rolled off the production line? The reason is the proverbial Zündapp reliability. Both models are characterised by an indestructible constitution, they are reliable and robust - even in the advanced age in which the mopeds first delivered in 1965 and 1971 respectively now find themselves. What's more, their attractive looks and irresistible retro charm have captivated motorcyclists and motorbike enthusiasts alike, both then and now.

2-stroke and two-wheeler - the blessed Nuremberg duality
Of course, the proverbial Zündapp reliability does not only characterise the Bergsteiger and Belmondo mopeds. Every moped enthusiast who has travelled on a moped with a type 247 engine or another Zündapp engine will appreciate the reliability and smooth running of the Nuremberg moped engines. No wonder, because when the first moped models rolled off the Zündapp factories' production lines in the 1960s, the manufacturer could already look back on over three decades of experience in two-wheeler production. The Nuremberg engineers and moped makers therefore knew exactly how to build a reliable moped.
Founding years of the legendary 2-stroke specialist
However, the chequered history of the manufacturer began in one of the darkest times in history. In the middle of the First World War, Fritz Ludwig Neumeyer founded Zünder-Apparatebau-Gesellschaft m.b.H. in Nuremberg. In fact, no two-wheelers left the factory halls at this time; instead, fuses were mainly manufactured for artillery purposes - nomen est omen. Fortunately, after the end of the terrible war, the manufacturer changed direction and specialised in two-wheeler construction. To be more precise, the company focussed on the construction of so-called ‘utility mopeds’. A typical representative of these particularly low-maintenance and comparatively inexpensive motorbikes was the top-selling Z 22. This model was also one of the manufacturer's first motorbikes to be equipped with kickstarters and geared engines. Zündapp had already set the course for 2-strokes in these years. Of the 40 different motorbike models produced up to 1945, 30 were genuine 2-strokes. Specialising in this type of engine was to pay off for the Nuremberg two-wheeler designers after the end of the Second World War.
Light motorbikes and the first moped models
Even after the end of the war in the 1950s, when the trend was towards small, light-engined two-stroke machines, Zündapp was one of the innovation leaders in this field. The trend towards 2-stroke light motorbikes at that time continued in the following years and led to the introduction and development of a new vehicle class in many European countries: the moped was born. Thanks to its long experience with 2-stroke technology, Zündapp's first moped models did not suffer from teething troubles and did not have to learn to run or ride with difficulty, as was the case with some competitor manufacturers in the mid-1960s. Innovative models such as the High Riser Moped 444-04 - equipped with high handlebars - and the first versions of the legendary Bergsteiger moped - also known simply as the M25, M30 and M50, depending on the engine - saw the light of day.
Legendary pearl: the Bergsteiger moped
Given the Swiss topography, it is not surprising that a moped that was advertised with the promise of being able to tackle gradients of up to 30% with ease would arouse the interest of Swiss moped enthusiasts. However, back in 1965, it was not yet foreseeable that such an intimate and long-lasting love would develop between the Zündapp moped and Swiss moped lovers. The Bergsteiger moped was the first model that Zündapp had developed specifically for the new moped vehicle class. In order to fulfil the special legal regulations in Switzerland, the Nuremberg moped designers brought the M30 version onto the market. Like the M25 and M50 variants, this gem was equipped with the fan-cooled 1-cylinder two-stroke Type 247 engine. The engine was fuelled by a Bing 1/9/54 carburettor. It was in no way inferior to the other variants in terms of hill-climbing ability, but only reached a top speed of around 30 kilometres per hour. From today's perspective, the advertising slogan at the time: ‘This moped can't be killed’ seems truly prophetic. Thanks to the dedication and passion of tireless moped enthusiasts who work on their Bergsteiger mopeds, search for rare NOS parts and maintain these gems with devotion, you can still see some of these indestructible mopeds on Swiss roads today.
A long-time legend: the Belmondo moped
A few years after the M30 mountaineer - in 1971 - an absolutely cult moped saw the light of day: the legendary Belmondo moped. Highly coveted, dearly loved and sometimes idolised - this is how the relationship of numerous moped lovers to this special moped, manufactured exclusively for Switzerland, can be described. Visually, the model impressed with its elegant lines and distinctive handlebars. Technically, the Belmondo moped impressed with the Zündapp type 247 engine, which once again proved to be extremely reliable and robust. A total of around 23,000 of these iconic mopeds were manufactured in two different series until production was discontinued in 1977. Despite these comparatively high production numbers, it is not always easy for moped enthusiasts to find suitable spare parts for this gem. Unfortunately, original NOS parts are almost impossible to find now that the Zündapp factory has gone bankrupt. A ray of hope for all Belmondo owners is our shop range, in which we not only offer high-quality reproduction parts, but also some genuine NOS treasures especially for this truly iconic moped.
