Introduced to Vietnam in the 1950s, Sachs Goebel motorcycles had a unique and interesting design compared to modern-day motorcycles.
Sachs Goebel motorcycles were operated using a kick start. To start the engine, the driver would stand and pedal until a cloud of white smoke came out of the exhaust pipe, indicating that the two-stroke engine was running.
In addition to the starting function, the kick pedal on Sachs Goebel motorcycles was also used as a bicycle pedal when the motorcycle ran out of fuel.
Sachs Goebel motorcycles used a 48cc 2-stroke gasoline engine. The two-stroke motorcycles were carefully customized by Saigon motorcycle enthusiasts, with the color of the sea and some parts such as rear shock absorbers, drive box, saddle, exhaust pipe, and rims still in fairly new condition.
The remaining Sachs Goebel motorcycles in Saigon are not considered rare. These two-stroke motorcycles are still bought and sold on forums for prices ranging from 10 million VND. Some unique Sachs Goebel motorcycles are even sold for more than 30 million VND.
