Would like to get hold of a velocar. Amazing vehicle !
-
Not usually a fan but like the look of this. Wonder what speed it's capable of, I suppose there's some form of power assistance other than pedals. ???
-
The listing says it's complete - bodywork and engine - so you
wouldn't have to pedal. Well, not much, anyway.
I doubt the stated age of 1900 though! More like 30s or 40s
I reckon. As for the motor, Ydral perhaps? Probably about
175cc unless anyone knows different.
Bises a tous et a toutes!

For someone after a slightly more modern version of the Mochet, try a Veloto.
This is in Brittany so a good excuse for a holiday while you're collecting it. Or
while I'm collecting it for you if you throw a shed load of Euros at me.
Mobylette engine, needs a bit of restoration - wiring, scruffy hood etc. Much
of the technology is out of the bike shop parts bin so there shouldn't be too
much of a challenge there.

Nice find Nick. I see that he also has the hood for it, but no photos, so most likely will have to be remade. Let's see what the action is and maybe you'll have to take a trip across the Channel. Ian.

I doubt it would have a 175 motor, with an engine that size there would be no need have to pedal at all unless to conform to some funny Gallic law. I recon 50cc.
