The NSU 301 T motorcycle, produced from 1929-1930, was a touring motorcycle designed for long distances. It had a 298cc four-stroke single-cylinder engine that produced 11 horsepower, as well as a three-speed transmission and a shaft drive. The motorcycle also featured a sprung frame, comfortable saddle, and large fuel tank for extended travel.

The NSU 301 T was known for its reliability and durability, and was popular among touring enthusiasts at the time. It was capable of reaching speeds of up to 75 km/h and could travel up to 400 km on a single tank of fuel. The motorcycle also had a unique “tunnel” exhaust system, which contributed to its distinctive appearance.

While production of the NSU 301 T was short-lived, it left a lasting impression on the motorcycle industry. NSU continued to produce motorcycles until 1963, when it merged with three other German companies to form the present-day Audi AG. The NSU brand name lives on today in the form of Audi’s NSU department, which is responsible for the development of hybrid and electric powertrains.
