The Mobylette range of mopeds was a great success for Motobécane, with over 14 million produced between 1949 and 1997, but one of the most ingenious developments was the Mobyx ‘pocket bike’, launched in 1971. Its design featured a tubular frame fully shrouded by two plastic half-shells, the seat and handlebars being foldable for the purpose of storage. It received a small two-litre tank, but no suspension was fitted. The small 2.5 by 9in wheels were made of alloy, and a carry handle was fixed to the crossbar, allowing it to be carried almost as easily as a suitcase. Like all Mobylettes, the engine was a 49cc two-stroke single.

We are pleased to offer a highly original and seemingly unrestored 1976 Mobyx which for many years formed part of the late owner’s private collection. Prior to that, it was in his brother’s ownership for many years as well. Displaying only light signs of age, it promises to be a very fun machine once recommissioned, with its compactness making it ideal for stowing in a car, motorhome or caravan. The sale includes the current V5C.
