Simon is close ...right country.... It is a moped or bicycle motor.

Stev-o · « **Reply #10 on:** January 26, 2013, 08:46:17 AM »

Velo Solex?

thrutheframe · « **Reply #11 on:** January 26, 2013, 08:56:17 AM »

Renault utility motor?

754 · « **Reply #12 on:** January 26, 2013, 07:23:56 PM »

Nope..name sounds a tad like maybe an ignition..

scottly · « **Reply #13 on:** January 26, 2013, 08:52:08 PM »

I thought Stevo-o nailed it with Velo Solex? From the fuzzy pics I found, the cylinder and head look similar.

754 · « **Reply #14 on:** January 26, 2013, 09:53:00 PM »

The company built bikes till 1958, they have a 2 part name..

754 · « **Reply #17 on:** January 27, 2013, 08:12:21 AM »

They actually built motorcycles, they sometimes were under another name but They did make bike till 58 ..bigger ones too..one of their ads had the devil riding one..

To be fair though , most on her may not realize that France had over 200 bike brands.

Dream750 · « **Reply #18 on:** January 27, 2013, 10:03:43 AM »

Maybe a Magnat-Debon?

bert96 · « **Reply #19 on:** January 27, 2013, 10:27:27 AM »

Looks like Magnat-Debon. They had an ad with the devil riding one.
