Sitta Credette

The name Sitta had its origins in the town of Sittense near Bremen.
This is where the Sitta works were located, which in the post-war period produced motor cycles equipped with one- and two-stroke Jlo engines.
A moped was also built in 1953, developed by designer Ordemann.
It featured the single-speed Jlo engine, a monotube frame in sheet steel and a telescopic front fork. The moped, which weighed 35kg, was offered for 550DM.
When the Sitta works closed, Ordemann moved his moped construction to the Credé wagon factory in Kassel.
Here Ordemann managed to establish a very successful trio of mopeds on the German market under the name Sitta-Credette.
The magazine “Das Moped” even reported that the Sitta Credette was in third place in German moped production in the autumn of 1954.
The Sitta-Credette I, the simplest model, was powered by the single-speed Jlo engine.
The two-speed Jlo engine could also be used in the same frame: that is the Credette II.
In line with its greater performance, some parts were a little better equipped, such as the mudguards and brakes.The tank of both mopeds was removable.
It rested in rubber and could be quickly removed by loosening a knurled screw.
The Credette III also had the Jlo G50 motor, but a pressed steel frame that served as a tank. This also largely covered the engine and merged smoothly into the rear mudguard and the saddle carrier. The standard equipment included the headlight with glare shield and the built-in speedometer.
The swing saddle could be adjusted according to the rider's weight.
The Credette III was well received because of its special design and elegance.
Nevertheless, Credé stopped producing mopeds in 1955.
