In the late 80's I bought two Solex 2500 (one running, one almost complete, as parts donnor) for 20 bucks. Drove one a few months and then sold all for 50 bucks. Wasn't a bad deal, back then. Meanwhile usable Solex change hands sometimes above 2k.

👍 Great job Richard; it works really well-in fact it works a lot better, or with less effort than I though it would. As a bonus, it almost looks as nice as the "High-tech dashboard" too-that was pretty funny. God bless.

I bought (same price as a 4 speed bike) mine- brand new in Paris in 1966, rode it to Spain, petrol problems with Spanish fuel, walked it from Barcelona - up to Perpignan (where I could find a shop to fix it), along the Med to Genoa, then north to Turin and then I had to walk it up to the tunnel at Mt. Blanc*, bribed the guard to let me ride it through the tunnel, into Switzerland, Lichinstin(misp.) into Austria - Vienna then north up to Graz where it finally died. I left in a parking lot in Graz and took the train south tio Venice, Greece etc. It was am anmazing machine - I was carrying far too much lugage and so I usualy wound up walking up the moutains, but hell on wheels comng down. * French guards must have heard that I was coming through and were madly waving to get me to stop - yeh sure!

Loved your video, have restored three of these 1700's over the past 10 years , just a few comments if I may, as someone has already mentioned the main bearing is crimped in, if you don't do this it has a tendency to move out of housing, you will know when this happens as the big end will rub against end cover! Also that motor at some stage has had a new big end fitted as it has a needle roller bearing, original was plane bronze bushing, possibly was replaced with later piston and barrel as well , if so you are in luck as late set up produced a bit more power!! Also none of my 1700's had a coaster rear brake set up all worked on caliper rim brakes front and rear, however could be different I guess from where bike came from, good luck with fuel pump and the throttle valve assembly, cheers.

Vous voilà heureux propriétaire d'un vélo Solex . Mon premier tour en vélo avec moteur était un solex celui de mon père c'était début des années 1980. J'ai donné à un collectionneur des bidons de Solexine. Here you are happy owner of a Solex bike . My first lap in bike with engine was a solex that of my father it was early 1980s. I gave a collector cans of Solexine.

I remember seeing a 1973 Solex bike sweepstake offer on a Kellogg's breakfast serial TV commercial and associated cerial boxes too. I believe 73 or 74 was the final year of Solex bike production. I was 9 at the time.

The original Velosolex company was taken over by Renault and then by Motobecane in 1974, and then closed for good in 1988. The machinery to make the S 3800 eventually ended up in Hungary. The last complete bikes made with this machinery were made in 2005-06. The last ones actually had CDI ignitions. thanks for watching sharing your experiences of them, cheers Richard
