Motobecanes are gorgeous mopeds and may be my number 1 favorite. Beautiful, stylish, and the essence of what a moped is. If you have a Motobecane, it’s roll call time, share some pics so we can see what’s out there and enjoy some beautiful Frenchies!
Used to have this one...miss it.
Still have this one, love Motobecanes, they are rideable works of art.
They frustrate me. But I love ‘em
Love that red one with leg shields. I want some for my red and black one. Maybe I should have the orange leg shields I got painted
TY, you will prob have to, mine started out Orange. :)
^ Very nice shape!
That black one with the mags is the only bike that I really lust after. I'll get one eventually.
This guy is going under the knife soon for a stock av10 swap, crap picture sorry. Gonna try to make a nice stock cruiser.
The red Motobecane is fire, and that VLX with the doppler is fresh to

How much do I have to pay you for that seat lol
Ooh la la! 1965 D50R
Never thought orange was cool until I got this one. Got to find some (white?) chain guard/covers, if anyone’s holding...
Ought to be required to have at least one fully stock 50V for comparison to other brands. These bikes surprise me every time I ride them after being on my E50 or V1 bikes—love me some variators
Nile that orange one is dope and the leg shields for it is killer.
Shawn that vlx is one of my favorite looking mobys. Love that blue with the orange and yellow striping.

Oh hell yes...that is beautiful!
1971 Cady M1PR. Swapped to a 14:10 Dellorto. Roached tank/frame... only way to salvage it was to weld on a crossbar and auxiliary tank mount. Is it just me or are Motobecane tanks more prone to rusting out? (edited)

Were huge fans of throwing tools in frustration as well.

It's a work in progress.
Here's my 1970 Motobecane 40N
Dellorto 20mm PHGB
70cc Barikit
17" x 2" Sava Kran tires
Le Partie CDI
Doppler pipe
ER3 clutch
Pull start
EBR forks
Hell yeah!!! That orange and gray is sick and those Doppler pipes look so pissed off, I got to get one and join the party. I just got a yellow moby will throw up a pic in a bit
iz a work in progress that moves about as fast as it does up seattles hills.
What a backdrop!! Imagine having your Motobecane hand painted on oil. That would be epic.
