Overview[edit | edit source]
NSU Pony
To enable it to offer a popular 2-stroke model in the motorcycle category, NSU put the "Pony 100" onto the market, at the time the smallest NSU motorcycle. It was a motorcycle that was especially enjoyable in city traffic. Broad tires, a comfortable 3-speed gearbox and sporty gate shift on the tank made it a people's motorcycle and a great commercial success.
