NSU vehicles are known and loved for their unique designs. Behind the designs is Rudolf Griffel, caricaturist and graphic designer. His distinctive line has characterised the development of NSU cars, motorbikes, mopeds and bicycles. Even today, the NSU Quickly, one of the first mopeds of the post-war period, the popular NSU Max motorbike and the vintage NSU Prinz car still make the hearts of car fans beat faster. NSU: motorbike, car, bicycle and passion Heiko Rossnagel is a self-confessed NSU enthusiast and fan. He set out in search of the man behind the NSU models and found an overwhelming archive. In keeping with his surname, Rudolf Griffel loved drawing and began drawing his first caricatures at an early age. This eventually led him to study graphic design and work for NSU. His widow Lydia has honoured her husband's works and is giving you an insight into Rudolf Griffel's entire oeuvre for the first time: unretouched prints, some with annotations by the artist Divided into the chapters Zweirad, Automobil and Kunterbunt Illustrated book not only for NSU classic car enthusiasts, car fans and nostalgics Captures the zeitgeist of the 50s and 60s Published in the esteemed Edition Audi Tradition series Get on your NSU bike, start your NSU moped or car and off you go to the time of the German motorisation miracle!

262 pages ISBN: 978-3-935517-71-3 When the company "Gebrüder Sie", Bremen, for example, published its first moped catalogue in 1954, no one could have imagined how quickly the development of this type of vehicle would progress. This rapid development caused quite a mess on the spare parts and accessories market. The small moped manufacturers bought the components they needed from many different suppliers, but hardly ever published their own spare parts lists for their new two-wheeled product. In this situation, the moped accessories and spare parts catalogues of the wholesalers became important reference works for the repair workshops. The catalogues were based on the tried-and-tested system used for bicycle, car and motorbike parts catalogues in previous decades. This gave the workshops a good overview of the wide range of moped accessories and all common spare parts. Today, these catalogues from past years are rare collector's items. Over 55 years have passed since the Staiger company published the original of this catalogue. A reprint of the 1958 edition is now being published by Johann Kleine Vennekate. Back then, the catalogue was aimed at bicycle mechanics who ordered the necessary spare parts for their customers. Today, on the other hand, the content is likely to be aimed primarily at enthusiasts of historic mopeds who want to find the spare part they are looking for at classic car markets and on the Internet. Old knowledge is necessary today in order to successfully maintain the moped from past times, to carefully preserve values or to continue using the historic two-wheeler.

Thomas Reinwald has re-researched the history of mopeds in Germany. The result is a comprehensive book of all brands with an incredible variety of models. There are almost 500 illustrations and detailed tables with technical data on around 250 pages. A book that has never been published before.

Klaus Arth describes the NSU Quickly, a two-wheeler that motorised millions of people and became Germany's most successful moped. Each Quickly model has its own chapter, which is illustrated with numerous photos. Extensive tables provide information on all technical data and production changes. New edition Number of pages: approx. 144 pages
