1977 Bélier Veloto

Highlights

  • Rare 1977 Belier Veloto with a unique double pedal system
  • Registered as a collection vehicle in France
  • Lightweight and versatile, can be used as a pedal car or with the 49 cm³ engine

The Appeal

Amongst the most curious of Europe's love of the microcar, the Veloto was a distinctive, squared-off little thing that looked bizarrely close to a golf cart and had perhaps half the horsepower. This versatile little vehicle was available to any budding driver without a licence, and could be driven in the usual way - with its 49cc twin-stroke engine - or pedalled like a Rosalie. 

This is a remarkable 1977 example, with its distinctive plastic bodywork fully intact and the diminutive little twin-stroke still chattering as ever it was, and the bare bones cabin still in good condition. It's incredibly rare you'll come across one of these unusual little vehicles and we're sure it'll attract plenty of intrigued glances.
