The very first Zündapp motorcycle was the model Z22 in 1921. This was the Motorrad für Jedermann ("motorcycle regarding everyone"), a simple, reliable design that was manufactured in large series. Zündapp's history of hefty motorcycles began in 1933 using the K-series. The "K" refers to the kind of drivetrain that these designs used, Kardanantrieb, meaning enclosed driveshaft along with two universal joints. Zündapp introduced the enclosed crankcase (then the novelty). The series encompassed types from 200 to 400 cc displacement and was a serious success, increasing Zündapp's market write about in Germany from 5% with 1931 to 18% within 1937.The Zündapp KS600, first released in 1938, had a 28 h . p .

While the KS600 was discontinued and eventually replaced by the purpose-built KS750, its motor was for being the only remnant to call home beyond the destruction of war. When Zündapp returned to motorcycle production within the late 1940s, it chose to recycling the KS600's motor to power the KS601 along with few modifications.The Zündapp K800 got unit construction, flat-four engines with canal drive (a page layout adopted by Honda for your Gold Wing in 1974) and were the sole 4-cylinder machines used by the German armed forces inside WWII.
From 1931 Ferdinand Porsche as well as Zündapp developed the prototype Car für Jedermann ("car regarding everyone"), which was the first-time the name Volkswagen ended up being used. Porsche preferred the 4-cylinder ripped engine, but Zündapp used some sort of water-cooled 5-cylinder radial motor. In 1932 three prototypes were running. All three cars were lost through the war, the last in a 1945 Stuttgart bombing raid.From 1936 to 1938 Zündapp made the KKS500 model.
