The Mobylette, sometimes shortened as Mob, is a model of moped by French manufacturer Motobécane during the second half of the 20th century.
The word Mobylette has since become something of a genericized trademark in the French language, referring to mopeds in general.
[2] All Motobécane mopeds are generally referred to (and usually carry the name) Mobylette, however there are several styles of submodel.
For example, the 40T was usually a slower version, capable of just 25 mph maximum speed and having no rear suspension.
The top-of-the-line 50V had front and rear suspension, a heavier body, and was capable of 30 to 35 miles per hour (48 to 56 km/h).
