The URANIA doesn't fit into the group of bikes we already have. The reason may be that I did not buy it, but I received it for free only with the terms that is has to stay during the winters for display in the window of the driving school belonging to the previous owner.

URANIA means URANIA-Fahrradwerke (bicycle factory), Paul Tanner OHG Cottbus, founded this company in 1895. Beside a lot of different bicycles they started to build small motorbikes during the late nineteen thirties. |

Compared to brands like Victoria or Wanderer, URANIA bikes are quite rare now a days. They only built about 100 of the kickstart model, so it is even harder to find one of those. The year our KI-120 was build was an anniversary year for the company. They celebrated their 45th anniversary that year, and they gave our KI-120 a special anniversary design. This makes it even more difficult for me to restore the paint to it's original look. As you can see from the pictures there is not much left of the decal. The few fragments I found, show that the anniversary logo from the rear fender was also placed on the tank, but with different colors.
