An iconic piece of electronic music history, this Panasonic road bicycle ridden by Florian Schneider in Kraftwerk’s 1984 “Tour de France” video and featured on the single’s artwork comes with three original Polaroids of Schneider with the bike—an extraordinary collector’s opportunity for fans and music historians alike.
As the technical architect of Kraftwerk, Schneider guided the band from traditional instrumentation into a minimalist, synthesized realm that laid the foundation for Techno, Hip-Hop, Synth-Pop, and House music.
This auction opens a rare window into the legendary Kling Klang Studio and the mind of a true innovator. Guided by Schneider’s belief that instruments are meant to be played and shared, this global event ensures his pioneering creations continue to inspire musicians, collectors, and lovers of sound worldwide.
