Hi Aldo,

Neat lights. If you ever need the old style yellow 6 volt bulbs for these, they are readily available for reasonable BIN prices on ebay.fr. Just search under "mobylette."

By the way, since these are essentially motorized bicycles, this represents a yet untapped resource where vintage lightweight collectors can look for lights and other such peripherals. Picked up an Atomico bell for next to nothing grazing here.

Regards,

Marc St. Martin (proud owner of a '62 Mobylette) Livermore, CA USA
