Lot 179: 1957 NSU 49cc Quickly
Professor Fritz Ehn Motorcycle Museum Collection, Bonhams (30th June 2008)
Another motorcycle manufacturer with its roots in the bicycle industry, NSU built its first powered two-wheeler in 1900, and went on to produce some outstanding and influential designs in the 1950s. Its most popular model in the UK in the post-WW2 years was the Quickly moped, a 49cc single-cylinder two-stroke equipped with two-speed, twist-grip ’change transmission. Introduced in 1953, the Quickly achieved sales of over a million worldwide, making it the most successful two-wheeler prior to the arrival of the Honda Cub. This original and unrestored Quickly was acquired in 1989 and since then has been kept in storage. The machine is offered without documents.
