In the late 1930s, Zündapp worked on a specialized model at the request of the Wehrmacht High Command: the KS 750. BMW, having received the same assignment, released the R75. It was a sidecar motorcycle with the sidecar wheel serving as the drive wheel. 

Developed for the German armed forces during World War II, the Zündapp KS 750 was Germany’s answer to the American Jeep. Ingenious and rugged, it could handle any terrain and was widely used in a variety of roles.
