Hercules

Hercules, a German bicycle and motorcycle manufacturer with a rich history dating back to the late 19th century, has a legacy rooted in both the utility and sport aspects of cycling and motorcycling. Initially known for its robust and reliable bicycles, Hercules expanded into motorcycles, producing a diverse range of models catering to various needs. Their motorcycles were popular for their practicality and durability, often favored for commuting and everyday use. While no longer producing motorcycles, the Hercules brand continues to exist, predominantly focused on the production of high-quality bicycles. The brand's long history and association with quality German engineering have solidified its reputation within the cycling world, even if its motorcycle production is now a part of its history.
