The company collapsed within 1984.Zuendap. biz markets markets bike and electric bicycles while using Zundapp name and emblem. while Zuendapp.com markets "enduro-sport" motorcycles under the Zundapp brand.
The very first Zündapp motorcycle was this model Z22 in 1921. This was the Motorrad für Jedermann ("motorcycle for everyone"), a simple, reliable design that was produced in large series. Zündapp's history of major motorcycles began in 1933 with all the K-series. The "K" refers to any type of drivetrain that these models used, Kardanantrieb, meaning enclosed driveshaft together with two universal joints. Zündapp introduced the enclosed crankcase (then a novelty). The series encompassed types from 200 to 300 cc displacement and was a serious success, increasing Zündapp's market reveal in Germany from 5% within 1931 to 18% with 1937.The Zündapp KS600, first released in 1938, had a 28 horsepower (21 kW) flat in a trench opposed twin cylinder generator with overhead valves displacing 597 closed circuit (36. 4 cu in).

While the KS600 was discontinued and in the end replaced by the purpose-built KS750, its motor was to be the only remnant to reside beyond the destruction associated with war. When Zündapp returned to motorcycle production within the late 1940s, it chose to recycle the KS600's motor in order to power the KS601 using few modifications.The Zündapp K800 got unit construction, flat-four engines with base drive (a structure adopted by Honda to the Gold Wing in 1974) and were really the only 4-cylinder machines used by the German armed forces inside WWII.
