Superia and Kreidler

.


Unfortunately The Claeys brothers, owners of the Flandria bicycle manufacturing company, did not get along too well, so they decided to separate and to become each-other's competitor, the upshot being that they divided their plant in two (literally, by means of a brick wall...). Aimé kept the Claeys engine and the Flandria marque, whereas Remi created a new brand: Superia. Having obtained the frame division, he started right away with the production of Superia mopeds equipped with German Sachs engines.

Kreidler was a German manufacturer of small motorcycles and mopeds, based in Kornwestheim, between Ludwigsburg and Stuttgart. The company was founded in 1903 as "Kreidlers Metall- und Drahtwerke" (Kreidlers metal and wire factory) by Anton Kreidler and started to build motorcycles in 1951.
