Classic Moped Spares Affordable Restorations

What is the Simplest Moped Restoration?

You have possibly heard the term 'Simplex' used with Velosolex. The Solex was always designed to be simple to work on. It is after all a bicycle with a small front mounted engine with a front mudguard cut out for the drive roller to engage.

Classic Moped Spares is expensive is certainly not something that can be said for the Solex machines, with tyres under £20 each and filters just a few quid, even replacing main parts is well within most budgets. 

With such simplicity the VeloSolex is a great little rewarding project and they also appear to be creeping up in value. They look so much fun I even bought one for myself, I just hope I get time to have a go on it!

Our Facebook Video well worth a peek

Take the stress out of your day and have a look!

I have just published a quick video on facebook. It uses just a small range of our images including a model on scooter (still waiting for the moped pictures!), great wheel rims and a customer's Solex restoration.

There is even some relaxing music playing in the background. So please take the stress out of your day and have a look our quick video and if you are happy with our service then please give us a facebook thumbs up!

Solex Help

The major club website based in the UK for Solex enthusiasts is now back up and running after a short break. The Forum can be found using the link http://www.velosolexclubuk.com/

The forum was down for sometime, but is now back up and running and going strong. There are a lot of members and I have found through my own experience that they are highly knowledgeable and helpful. 

The forum is easy to use after approval has been given. It appears to be run in a professional manner and is a credit to the auto cycle fan base.

There is an advert on the forum for www.ClassicMopedSpares.com where you can buy parts for the Solex machines and I also distribute from the Uk to Worldwide. 

There are also other suppliers in different countries advertising so there is a lot of choice available.

Excellent guide for Mobylette / Motobecane Mopeds motobecane. Raleigh Mopeds also used the same engines and many other mobylette parts making this guide also essential to Raleigh Moped owners.

This manual has loads of uses for so many different models. Someone once suggested 'to put it on a wall; clearly as it is a work of art in its own right!' With classic photos and nostalgia resurrected by the perseverance of Classic Moped Spares it is amazing to think how many Mobylette Mopeds have been saved with the help of this book. You have only got to look at this proud mobylette owner below to realise what fun a mobylette is:-
