A Brief History of the Marque: Alcycon
40 à 52 rue de la Garenne
COURBEVOIE (Seine)
Originally a bicycle manufacturer, the firm was founded by Edmond Gentil
at Neuilly sur Seine in 1902. Alcyon produced a considerable variety of
models from 98cc two-strokes to large capacity vertical and V twins, and
produced a shaft-drive version during the 1930's.
They absorbed several other French manufacturers including Amor, Labor,
Thomann and Olympique. Postwar they produced smaller capacity two and four
stroke machines using engines from AMC, VAP
and Zurcher. Some sources indicate they ceased production in 1957, others
as late as 1968. Another French marque, Austral,
is related.
Quite extensive model information is available at JLB-Créations

Alcyon motorcycles
I have found an old Alcyon, belt drive, two speed, 200cc four stroke
side valve motorcycle. It has footboards as well as pedals to start
the engine. I believe it to be between 1918 and 1924. I do not have
a photo as yet. Could you give me an idea of what the model may be
of its value. It looks in need of total restoration, but the engine
turns over and it seems to be all there. Your help would be much
appreciated. Regards, david
