1979 Motobecane Mobylette 50v Moped

Part of Motobecane’s iconic Mobylette line, the 1979 Motobecane Mobylette 50V is a standout vintage French moped, celebrated for its advanced features, including front and rear suspension and a robust, heavier frame. Capable of reaching 35 mph, it offered both comfort and performance for riders of its era before the company’s closure in 1981. Reason for Selling: My father is needing to declutter the garage, and he doesn't have a need for it. Backstory: The moped was received after our neighbor passed. The moped was barely ridden and was mainly used as a display in our neighbors garage. Bike actively still works and runs well. I can send videos of it running as well, if need be.
