Brief History of the Marque: Motosacoche
Henri and Armand Dufaux founded Motosachoche in Switzerland in 1899.
Production of motorcycles began with small bicycle engines and soon advanced
to the production of MAG-engined motorcycles of 250cc to 1000cc. Enormously
successful in the interwar period, Motosacoche had factories in Switzerland,
France and Italy, and supplied MAG engines to many other manufacturers
including
AJW,
Allegro,
Brough Superior,
Condor,
Dresch,
Imperia,
Lady,
Matchless,
Monet Goyon,
Morgan,
Neander,
New Hudson,
Rex-Acme,
Rovin
and
Royal Enfield. Ariel and Triumph also
possibly used these engines.

Motosacoche 1910 listed on Ebay UK
Vendor's Description:
This is your chance to purchase and own a veteran motorcycle at an
affordable price . This little 4 stroke machine uses a motosacoche unit
fitted to little more than a bicycle frame ! So is interesting to ride
!!
It has been on the pioneer run and comes with a pioneer certificate
that validates this machine as 1910 .
It runs well , has a lighting kit which I have never used and is a good
entry for the pioneer run as it is very rare . You see lots of triumphs
etc but I am told very few Motosacoche have survived .
