The production of this model ended in 1946. The first year of production was an immediate success, selling over 3000 of the JAWA 175, almost three times the number of the 500-cc model over three years of production.
This light (70 kg) machine was capable of speeds up to 80 km/h and fuel consumption of 3.5 L/100 km. The year 1932 marked the introduction of JAWA 175, with its 3.6-kW engine.
Although priced highly, through the first years (and several constructional fixes), this motorcycle was successful and was considered reliable.ĭue to the economic recession of the early 1930s, a cheaper and simpler motorcycle was needed. This was a 500 cc four-cycle engine with 12 kW of power (18 hp) and fuel consumption of 6 L/100 km. The first model was introduced on October 23, 1929. Because of the collapse of the German motor industry, Wanderer had stopped production, being unable to compete with BMW. Janeček chose between the Austrian double piston two-stroke motor of Puch, the Berlin two-stroke of Schliha, and the new Wanderer 500 cc. Although he did not have experience with motorcycles, he was familiar with production techniques. František Janeček started the company after working in the armament industry.
