Description
NSU Quickly N in dark blue, with a 49cc two-stroke engine and pedal start. This is the moped that put West Germany on wheels. NSU built more than a million Quicklys between 1953 and the mid-1960s, and the N was the original and best-selling version, with around 540, 000 made. Owners' clubs and parts suppliers in the UK still support them well.
