Motobécane was a French manufacturer of bicycles, mopeds, motorcycles, and other small vehicles, established in 1923. Motobécane is a combination of 'Moto', short for motorcycle and 'Bécane', French slang for bike. For many years Motobécane was France's largest manufacturer of motorcycles. The Velosolex/Solex motorised bicycle was conceived during World War II and first sold in 1946, withover 8 million being produced between 1946 and 1988. Archetypically French, they also sold in large numbers internationally, having been marketed in some 70 countries until production ceased in 1988.
This typically French Velosolex, being offered at no reserve, has been stood for a number of years and is in need of a complete recommissioning. Once done, it would be an ideal lightweight moped for carrying around in a motorhome or camper van. It is not registered and has no documentation apart from an instruction sheet and original guarantee card.
