BFC (Brødrene Frede og Charles Christensen) mopeds were popular Danish vehicles from the 1950s, known for their 'røvskubber' model, a bicycle with an engine in the back, which became part of the early moped era before changes in legislation in the 1950s, where they became more motorcycle-like, before the focus was on becoming more motorcycle-like, before foreign gas changed the competition.
BFC stands for Brødrene Frede og Charles Christensen, who produced mopeds at their factory in Skuderløse.
They started by selling engines to be mounted on the back of bicycles, the nickname 'røvskubber' arose when the engine was in the back.
At first they were bicycles with auxiliary engines, but over time BFC developed real mopeds, such as the "Folkestafetten" (Stafette 108).
Before 1955, a lightweight motorcycle (which the first BFC did) required a motorcycle license and license plate, but a new traffic law made them popular.
Foreign competition, especially from Austrian Puch in the 1970s, became too great.
BFC mopeds are today sought-after collectors' items and represent a piece of Danish engineering from the mid-20th century.
Some preserved examples can be seen in museums, such as the Danish Bicycle & Moped Museum. Classic Danish BFC Staffette moped model 108 year 1953 from the Brdr. Christensen factory. In nice and original condition. Perfect for collectors or enthusiasts.
