Isaria: unique classics by Hans Glas GmbH

Isaria scooters were a product of Hans Glas GmbH, a German company best known for its microcars such as the Goggomobil. These scooters were produced in the early 1950s and served as a rebadge of the popular Goggo scooters, specially designed for foreign markets. The name Isaria comes from the Isar River, which flows through southern Germany and through the town of Dingolfing, home of the company Hans Glas GmbH, where the Isar models were produced. So using the Isar name for Hans Glas's cars and agricultural machinery was probably a reference to this important river, which provided a symbolic link to the region. It was a clever way to incorporate local pride and identity into the name of their export products.

The design and technology of the Isaria scooters were largely identical to those of the Goggo models, but with a different name and sometimes minor modifications to meet the specific requirements of export markets. They featured 150cc and 200 CC ILO engines and had a sturdy and practical design that made them suitable for both urban rides and longer distances.
The frame of the Isaria-Goggo scooters came standard with connection points to attach both Steib LS200 and Royal sidecars.

Production of the Isaria scooters was relatively short, which now makes them rare and valuable for collectors. Today, these scooters are sought after by fans of classic German two-wheelers, mainly because of their unique story as rebadged Goggo scooters for foreign markets.
