Hercules Wankel 2000

The Hercules Wankel 2000 was a unique motorcycle produced in the 1970s by the German manufacturer Hercules. It was one of the few production motorcycles equipped with a Wankel engine, an unconventional rotary piston engine known for its smooth running and power delivery. The Wankel 2000 featured a 294 cc, air-cooled, single-cylinder Wankel engine that developed approximately 18 hp. Its futuristic design and innovative technology made it a fascinating motorcycle of its time. Despite its iconic status, the Hercules Wankel 2000's production was relatively short-lived, and it is now a sought-after collector's item for enthusiasts of rare motorcycles.
