NSU Motorenwerke AG, (normally just NSU), wasfounded in 1873. NSU began as a knitting machine manufacturer in the town ofRiedlingen on the Danube in 1873, and moved to Neckarsulm, where the river Sulmflows into the river Neckar, in 1884. The company soon began to producebicycles as well, and by 1892, bicycle manufacturing had completely replacedthe knitting machine production. At about this time, the name NSU (from Neckarand Sulm) appeared as brand name. The first NSU motorcycle appeared in 1901,followed by the first NSU car in 1905. In 1932 the car production in Heilbronnwas sold to Fiat. During World War II NSU designed and produced the famousKettenkrad, the NSU HK101, a half-tracked motorcycle with the engine of theOpel Olympia. After the war, NSU restarted in a completely destroyed plant withpre-war constructions like the Quick, OSL and Konsul motorbikes; furthermore,the HK101 continued to be sold by NSU as an all-terrain vehicle in a civil version.The first post-war construction was the NSU Fox in 1949, available in a2-stroke and a 4-stroke version. In 1953 the famous NSU Max followed, a 250 ccmotorbike with a unique overhead camdrive with connecting rods. All these newmodels had a very innovative monocoque frame of pressed steel and a centralrear suspension unit. Albert Roder, the genius chief engineer behind thesuccess story, made it possible that in 1955 NSU became the biggest motorcycleproducer in the world. NSU also holds 4 world records for speed: 1951, 1953,1954 and 1955. In 1956 Wilhelm Herz started at the Bonneville Salt Flats, Utah.Herz was the first man to ride a motorcycle faster than 200 miles per hour, inAugust 1956. Motorbike production continued until 1968. NSU's last productionmotorcycle was the Quick 50. A museum in Neckarsulm, the Deutsches Zweirad- undNSU-Museum, has many of NSU's products on display. NSU had several successes inthe Isle of Man TT races in the 1950s. NSU holds 4 World records for speed:1951, 1953, 1954 and 1955. During the 1930s, and in the mid 1950s NSU was thelargest motorcycle producer of the world. The NSU Quickly was the most popularmoped of its time. It was produced between 1953 and 1966 in over 1.000.000examples and still can be found today all over the world as more than 60% wereexported.
