I didn't know Zundapp made a scooter. I worked for the American Maico distributor in 1966-67 while going to Uni and Maico had a cool Maicoletta and a Maicomobil scooter and a Taifun twin road bike.

I guess looks can be deceiving. That seems awfully small for a 350 cc. I had a 350 Yamaha and no way that engine would fit.

350 Yamaha (RD 350) was a twin cylinder, the Zundapp was probably a single cylinder.

Ok, but my single cylinder 400cc Polaris wouldn't come close either. Actually, when I searched for a Bella, I couldn't even find a step through like that. They all had a tunnel to the front.

RD350 great engine. I transplanted one into a hefty dirt bike. Heavy but very nasty. Jim

A lot of space under that seat.
