Motos françaises 1869-1964

Frankrijk, land van pioniers, bracht meer dan duizend motorfietsmerken voort. In 1869 bouwde Perreaux 's werelds eerste motorfiets. Franse motoren zijn bekend om hun betrouwbaarheid en kregen wereldwijde faam.

Merken zoals Terrot, Gnome & Rhône, Motobécane, René Gillet, Peugeot, Jonghi, Koehler-Escoffier, Magnat-Debon, Ratier, Monet-Goyon en Werner reden wereldwijd, tot in Japan. Ze schitterden in de racesport en vestigden honderden wereldrecords, waarvan sommige nog steeds bestaan. Legendarische rijders zoals Robert Sexé en Georges Monneret maakten naam met deze machines.

Met honderden historische illustraties, meestal nooit eerder gepubliceerd, vertelt dit boek de geschiedenis van de meest emblematische Franse motormerken van de beginperiode tot de jaren 1960, toen de industrie langzaam achteruitging.

Cyclo-sport - Les marques, les modèles et leur histoire de A à Z

After winning the hearts of collectors of vintage two-wheelers, cyclo-sport is now confidently conquering the general public, appearing on television, in the cinema and naturally in any self-respecting exhibition of vintage motorcycles. This is not surprising when you consider the strong comeback of the aesthetic values of the 1950s and 1960s.
Appearing at the heart of this period when everything was changing, cyclo-sport was born out of passion, contemporary with the electric guitar, the slicked-back hairstyle and then the wind-blown hair of the hippie period. How many rock stars have posed on a Flandria, a Benelli or a Paloma?

Leaving the scooter to charm the girls, cyclo-sport aims to be the friend of boys, who rush to accessorize it and improve its performance. Throughout Europe, young people are demanding cyclo-sport; So, to satisfy this strong demand, motorcycle manufacturers got involved (Peugeot, MV-Agusta), as well as bicycle manufacturers such as Gitane but also the Viberti dump truck factory and a multitude of small assemblers. As a result, three hundred and ninety-two brands, all listed and commented on in this book, have given birth to cyclo-sport bikes. Among these, we have selected the most beautiful models, the most famous but also the most curious and all those illustrated by the inimitable period brochures marked by this nostalgia which today affects all generations.

Le cyclomoteur à galet de mon père

The transmission of energy from an engine using a friction roller is a principle used since 1920, but which only became widespread with the birth of the VéloSolex in the 1940s.
After producing engines that could be fitted to any bicycle, at the front or the rear, manufacturers began designing mopeds, solid machines that automatically incorporated an engine.

This book takes you on a journey through time, from the beginning of the 20th century to the 1970s, with a focus on the 1950s: this is when roller mopeds reached their peak. In France, alongside major brands such as Motobécane, Peugeot, Terrot, Vap or Le Poulain, many small manufacturers, sometimes short-lived, are embarking on the adventure: Cyclex, Kid and Baby Star, in particular.

Economical to use, the roller engine is also economical to manufacture, and its ease of installation appeals to many foreign manufacturers: from the extravagant English Cymota to the German 18 cm³ JLO and Lohmann diesel, via the American Travis, the Italian Mosquito, and the Dutch Berini, you will also travel around the world to the rhythm of the roller. Enjoy your trip!

49,9 cm³, éternellement jeunes (Motofocus)

In the immediate post-war period, 50 cc mopeds (with pedals) and mopeds (without pedals) allowed the masses to motorize economically. One brand particularly embodied this revival: Motobécane, which named its new moped Mobylette. This proper name would become common, and define all of these 50 cc models whose success would extend from the 1950s to the end of the 1980s.

Machines flourish in the ranges of all manufacturers, French but also European and Asian. Some of them will become cult: from the famous Bleue de Motobécane to the thunderous black Vélosolex, through astonishing machines like the Honda Dax, or the phenomena of the 1980s that will be the Peugeot 103 and Motobécane / MBK 51 Super with the young public, most of them are mentioned here.
