Their first motorcycles appeared in 1902, and until 1910 they produced 3, 3.5 and 5 HP machines.
After 1910 they ceased making motorcycles and continued with bicycles, typewriters and automobiles.
The company was notable in the thirties for their fine cars which included the Adler Autobahn, Trumpf Junior and the 2.5 liter Glaeser bodied Diplomat.
After World War II motorcycle production resumed in 1949 with a 98cc two stroke followed by improved 123cc, 147cc, 195cc and 247cc designs. The 247cc machine had a modern twin cylinder two-stroke powerplant which had some influence on early Japanese motorcycle engine design and may also have been the inspiration for the Ariel two-stroke twins.
Adler won many races with air- and water-cooled 247cc street racers, driven by Lohmann, Beer, Luttenberger, Vogel, Falk and others. Some all-terrain motorcycles like the Adler sixdays were built up to 1957.
In 1956 Adler merged with Triumph (TWN). The business was taken over by Grundig in 1957, and motorcycle production ceased in favour of office equipment, notably typewriters.
