Built by Ehinger Kraftrad – Hamburg, Germany

While the Ehinger Kraftrad “Speedster” appears to be the most traditional and the least alt. custom of the group, in some regards it is the most high-tech machine in the “Custom Revolution” exhibition. The high-tech part of the “Speedster” came in crafting the engine, using 1937 UL crankcases and modified Knucklehead top ends. These parts do not really mix, as their unconventional pushrod angles attest, but Ehinger’s computer simulation proved it could be done. He considers engines the heart of his creations.
