eBay watch: 1950s NSU Quickly 49cc motorised bicycle
Last week we featured a motorised bike from Raleigh, which proved really popular. Well, now we've found another - and we think this 1950s NSU Quickly motorised bicycle is even better.
A stunning vintage design, made in Germany back in 1958 and packed full of the retro curves that are so common in retro bicycle designs in the modern era.
According to the seller, it's a 'good runner', has a 49cc engine, two speeds and 'everything's original'. The only thing needed is a new speedo cable. Plenty of interest, but even allowing for that, the price is only at £215.55. See the eBay page for lots more images.
