1960 Motobecane Mobylette AV32, 49cc. Registration number 692 UYP (non transferrable). Frame number 2813426. Engine number R185625.
Sold with the V5C, Cyclemotor dating certificate, copies of workshop manuals.
French manufacturer Motobécane was established in the 1920s and post WWII it began manufacture of a super lightweight Poney Vélomoteur of 63cc. It soon became apparent that 50cc pedal-assisted motors would be the way forward. Utilising a sleeved-down version of the Poney motor to 50cc, called a Mobylette, the new AV3 Moped was first produced in 1949.
Other models fitted with the same AV3 engine appeared in 1952: AV31 ‘Luxe’ to 1955, with telescopic forks, front and rear drum brakes, and ‘automatic’ clutch. AV32 ‘Utilitaire’ & ‘Service’ to 1962, basic models with rigid fork, front & rear calliper brakes, and direct drive and
AV33 ‘Super-Standard’ to 1960, rigid fork, calliper front brake & drum rear, and ‘automatic’ clutch.
UYP was imported from France in 2016 and restored being painted Triumph green.
Sold with the V5C, Cyclemotor dating certificate, copies of workshop manuals.
