Distinguishing Features
The 103 A0 resembles the 102 A1, except that the 103 A0 incorporates 10" wheels. The A0 was the first Tourist to use 10" wheels. Additionally, the A0 was the first model to incorporate four speeds.
The handlebars are open like a bicycle, and there is a dashboard behind the legshield. The dashboard houses the speedometer on the left hand side and an optional clock on the right hand side. If the clock is not present, there will be a filler plug with the "Winged H" Heinkel logo.
