We were agents where l worked for the early NSU Quickly , and they were one of the quietest mopeds on the road , that one is very noisy . Classed as a pedal assisted moped which one could start by pedalling it . Without the pedalling mechanism it would have to be classed as a motorcycle .
Bad luck Mike. We have all been there but it’s part of the fun of riding old stuff sometimes. My Raleigh RM6 has a habit of turning off its petrol tap when I have to pedal assist on steep hills. I refuse to admit it’s user error! Keep up the riding small bikes. In our local club we have a saying, “fast enough to go places, slow enough to see them”
@@wheelssleaford268 ha ha ! Yes I remember turning of the fuel tap on my RM6 with my flares back in the day! Then trying to suss out why the engine had stopped!
Hello Mike...that's a shame the NSU let you down half way round the run, yes i'd go along with the condensor breaking down diagnosis as well...being a hot day probably not helping matters either, hopefully i'll make the next run or we'll just have our own little ride out sometime.
This is the S2/23 model . I used to have a 1964 one . I now I have an F23 model. Virtually identical, but with rear suspension. I have souped mine up. Will hit 45 on the flat on a good day, but doesn't idle that well because of more radical port timing . These bikes are such a hoot around tight twisty lanes . Amazing handling

Love the look of these bikes.😀

These Quicklys were an excellent Moped
the Honda Cub c100 50 cc knocked them out of the small bike market.

Yes mate, I will get her running again and if you bring one of peds over to mine in your van we could set off and do the same route ?
@@MadMickey58 .... most probably keeping the Raleigh RM12 so will have to get it insured now.

Is there something rubbing?
