Sarolea 34 S or S6 ?
Sarolea S4S or S6
Hallo, I just bought a fantastic bike Sarolea. I am not sure about the model, year and also by capacity of the engine. There is a No. 306154 on the frame and 34S 306154 on the gearbox. But on the engine there is S6 306154 but the numbers were re-striked. Also the size of the cylinder seems to be 600 cm. I am looking for any information or exchange of pics and experiences. Best regards Jan.

Hi Sarolea bikers!
I just bought this 350 cc A37-(1937) 3 gear Sarolea in Holland and would like to share the picture with you.  Its been restored and looks quite nice although the handlebars are a bit rough, already found new factory fresh ones in Belgium which will be mounted soon.

The paintjob is not original I've been told, does anyone out there have any idea of colour schemes used in 1937 ?

Would also like to find an owners manual and technical data ? ( I'm getting Beckers book; La maison Sarolea soon - which will help)

Is there a Sarolea club somewhere ? ( Holland/Belgium)  I also need new Sarolea decals...any idea?  Can anybody help?

Thanks and keep them riding!
Best regards from Holland

Hello Friends,
Is there somebody who could help me with the colour references, stripes and or logo's of 400cc Sarolea?  A friend of my is completely re-building sudge bike.  The only thing is that the owner before him, did a very bad job, killed a lot of bolts, modified parts and of course gave it a not true colour.  To help my friend it would be very fine to receive some pictures of sudge bike and when possible original colour references.
Best Regards,

January 14, 2001
Hello Sami,
Normally the engine number is the same as the frame number, in your case the engine number is correct because there are always 6 numbers.  Your Sarolea is not correct, this is often with motorbikes that come from Russia, they used parts from Russian bikes to keep an old bike in rideable condition.  The fuel tank, horn mudguards and steering bars are not correct. This is what I can see on your photo.

June 18, 2000
What I have is a "Sarolea".  There actually was such a bike.   There are many stories as to when "Charles Sarolea" started the company, some say around 1917, some even earlier.  They stopped building bikes in 1957.  Somewhere in Belgium.  Mine is a two cylinder, had it apart several times, trying to stop the overhead valves from sucking in so much oil.  I measured the cylinders stroke and it was almost exactly 600cc. (300 each).  It has been in my family since 1957, when my brother first bought it from a exchange student who went to Belgium to study.  As near as I've been able to find out, I must own the only one left in the world. (This year and model that is).

I did receive a e-mail from a gent in Belgium who said he lived very close to where they were made. I responded to him and asked him where it was and all he could find out about it. I haven't heard back yet.

Great talking to you, I look forward to hearing more from you. Beat regards.
