Velosolex America owns the trademark and markets the VéloSolex
in the United States and in several other non-European countries.
VéloSolex mopeds were originally produced by the Parisienne manufacturer
Solex. Founded at the turn of the 20th century, the company made centrifugal
radiators, carburetors, and micrometers, before branching into bicycle
motors and bicycles. The firm was owned successively by Dassault, Renault,
and Motobécane MBK, who marketed the
machines as Solex.
The pedal-assisted powered bicycle has a 49 cc engine which runs on
1.4 litres of two-stroke mixture motor which is good for 100 kilometres.
VéloSolex sold more than 7 million units worldwide. It was extremely
popular, not only among high school students (who could ride it without
a driver's license) but also among artists and movie stars. Both Brigitte
Bardot and Steve McQueen rode Velosolex machines.

Velosolex produced cyclemotors from 1946 to 1988 in Europe. Production
began in both China and Hungary in 1988, but ceased in Hungary in 2002.
French production resumed in 2005. The current VéloSolex is a replica
of the historic model, but includes modern components which suit both European
and North American requirements.

Hi, Can anybody tell me what the alternator lighting circuit voltage
is on these little machines. I have measured the output at 8 volts but
am not sure if with all bulbs in circuit this will go down to a nominal
6v or if the field will be further excited and rise to 12v.
Need to buy new bulbs!
