The original VĂ©losolex was put into production in late April 1946 and was manufactured in Paris, France. It is a very basic cyclemotor respected for its simplicity and reliability. More than eight million have been sold throughout the world, and it has developed a large cult following.
Models
45
The 45 was the first production model released by VeloSolex. It was sold from 1946 until 1953. The 45 had a 45cc two-stroke engine and is capable of around sixteen miles per hour. The fuel consumption was roughly two hundred miles per gallon. Unique feature included the diaphragm fuel pump and float-less carburetor. The 45 experienced a few small changes over the years including slight changes to the carburetor, muffler and cylinder head.
330
In 1953 the new 330 model made its debut. The motor was new and the cylinder displacement increased to 49cc.
660
The 660 was introduced at the Automobile and Cycle Exposition in 1955. The most noticeable difference was the new frame. It is sold until March 1957.
1010
The 1010 was very similar to the 660 but had a new cylinder, piston and exhaust design. It was sold until September 1958.
1400
The 1400 was introduced with new 19' rims. It was sold until October 1959.

3800
The 3800 was introduced with a new engine with even more power. Over the long production run of the 3800, a few changes were added. The metal fuel tank was replaced by a plastic tank of similar size and shape. A twist grip allowed adjustment of the throttle without braking. In 1976, the larger Motobecane (ULO) tail light was added, as well as Motobecane frame decals. Shortly before the end of production, Solex decals were added and the brake levers were changed from the traditional inverted style to the more conventional type. Production ends November 1988.
4600
Never available for sale in France, the 4600 was an export-only model. The 4600, also known as the 'Horse', had a frame and engine very similar to the basic 3800 series. It featured new, much larger, head and tail lights, a stop (brake) light, and an electric horn. It had German-made Magura hand controls with a conventional twist-type throttle with spring return. The magneto was updated for the increased load of the new electrics by increasing the capacity of the primary lighting coil and by the addition of a new, secondary lighting coil. Much of this new hardware was found on 'DOT' models meant to meet US guidelines.
5000
The 5000 has a similar frame as the 3800 but it is modified for the small 16' wheels. The motor is the same as the 3800.
Pli-Solex
The Pli-solex is a folding version of the 5000 model. The handlebar and seat are removable with a quick release, and the motor is also easily removed. The frame hinges in the middle for compact storage.
Micron
The micron is a small scooter constructed with sheet metal members bolted together. The engine is 3800 type and it has 12' wheels.
Technical information
The VĂ©losolex has a 49cc single cylinder, two-strokeengine producing about .8 horsepower. Power is transferred to the front wheel through a centrifugal clutch and friction drive roller. The vehicle gets about 200 miles per gallon and can travel at about 23 miles per hour. The total weight is about 62 lbs. Stopping power is supplied by front rim brakes and a rear drum brake.
Velosolex 4800
The brand new (made in France) Velosolex are currently available from Velosolex America. Updated with the assistance of Mr. Mennesson, son of the original designer of the Velosolex, the new Velosolex now has front (and rear) drum brakes, electronic ignition, an upgraded lighting system and catalytic converter.

FREE SOLEX ENGINES. I have 4 solex engines built in China as described in the BGF Hongdu/Solex thread below. I am cleaning out my shop and would like to give them away.

I purchased these engines new from a vendor in Canada. I mounted them on two different bikes as shown in the pictures attached. I have had a lot of fun with these engines adapting them to my bikes. They are very quiet and smooth. However, I have found the engines to be quite unreliable and require a lot of tinkering to keep them running well. I never did follow all of the modification suggested in the thread so that is probably the reason. This was my first experience with motor bicycling and was hooked after my first ride. I decided that I wanted a motorbike that was more powerful and reliable. I have found the perfect combination for me is the Honda 4 cycle, 1.6 hp engine with the Staton friction drive using either the 1' or 1.125' roller (weight is 195#).
If you want these engines you need to be prepared to spend the time with them to get them running well. The engines are complete except for all of cables and hand controls. The engines have less than 2 hours run time each. I would suggest getting two engines so that one can be used for parts if needed. Since nothing is really free, I need to charge for packing and shipping to your location. I have an estimate from UPS for packing of $18 to $20 each and a packaged weight of 23 to 25 #. You can figure out the total cost shipped to your location. If you are able to pick them up from my house in Salt Lake City, they will then be free.
