Motoconfort AU-79
History
Moby
Purchased by us from a dealer at Kempton Park Auto Jumble in May 2017, the bike was made for the domestic French market and under their rules can be ridden at 14.
Judging by the cracked steering head and banana forks the machine had ended it’s life being used as a field bike.
Specification
Motoconfort AU-79
Engine: 49 cc 2-stroke single cylinder producing 1-bhp.

The AU-79 was made by Mobylette and marketed as Motoconfort
for the domestic French market with production starting in 1957.
The machine can be peddled if the motor fails or to assist with
steep hills. The variable drive system gives the moped a
basic 2-speed automatic gearbox.
