They also made single-wheeled trailers and sidecars for it.

Within a few years the situation straightened out and some customers began to demand a more powerful machine. In as early as 1950 a half-litre had been prepared to be put in serial production in 1952, model mark 15/00. It was an air-cooled four-stroke OHC twin cylinder with vertical shaft and worm gear camshaft drive, hence nicknamed the "Snek" ("Snail" or "Worm" in Czech) displacement 488 cc (65x73.5), power output 19.1 kW (26 HP) at 5500 r.p.m. The gearbox was four-speed, ignition by Lucas magneto soon replaced by PAL coil, and battery system with 60 W dynamo. The following 15/01 model featured reconstructed valve gear with Gleason type bevel gearing. Lubrication was by oil pump, the capacity of the separate oil tank was 4.5 litres. The motor cycle frame was of the JAWA 250 type duly reinforced with the possibility of sidecar attachment. The front wheel suspension was by telescopic fork with oil dampers; that of the rear wheel by coil springs. The 16 litre capacity tank was joined by swinging saddle, of a similar type like the 250 model. Front tyre size was 3.25 - 19, rear tyre size 3.50 – 19, weight 156 kg, maximum speed 135 km/hour, average consumption about 4 litres per 100 km.
