Motobécane was a French manufacturer of bicycles, mopeds, motorcycles, and other small vehicles, established in 1923. "Motobécane" is a compound of "moto", short for motorcycle; "bécane" is slang for "bike." For many years Motobécane was France's largest manufacturer of motorcycles. The Velosolex/Solex motorised bicycle was conceived during World War II and marketed in 1946, with 8 million being sold between 1946 and 1988 in France and internationally, having been marketed in some 70 countries. The French design ceased production in 1988. From 1971 the 5000 was an upgraded version of the popular 3800 model preceding it.

This 1977 Motobécane Velosolex Type 5000 was one man's passion, he collected enough spares with the bike for another two machines. Most of the spares seem to be new old stock and the other components have been refurbished to a good standard. There is a large box file full of handbooks, information about the marque, and many receipts. It is offered complete with a current V5C.
