French manufacturer Motobécane was established in the 1920s and post WWII it began manufacture of a super lightweight Poney Vélomoteur of 63cc. It soon became apparent that 50cc pedal-assisted motors would be the way forward. Utilising a sleeved-down version of the Poney motor to 50cc, called a Mobylette, the new AV3 Moped was first produced in 1949.
Other models fitted with the same AV3 engine appeared in 1952: AV31 ‘Luxe’ to 1955, with telescopic forks, front and rear drum brakes, and ‘automatic’ clutch. AV32 ‘Utilitaire’ & ‘Service’ to 1962, basic models with rigid fork, front & rear calliper brakes, and direct drive and
AV33 ‘Super-Standard’ to 1960, rigid fork, calliper front brake & drum rear, and ‘automatic’ clutch.
UYP was imported from France in 2016 and restored being painted Triumph green.
Sold with the V5C, Cyclemotor dating certificate, copies of workshop manuals.
