Mobylette is a brand of mopeds that was manufactured by the French company Motobécane from 1949 to 1997. The company was founded in 1923 as a manufacturer of bicycles, and it later expanded into motorcycles and mopeds.

The first Mobylette model was introduced in 1949 and was powered by a 50cc two-stroke engine. The moped was an instant success, especially in France, where it became a cultural icon and a symbol of freedom and independence for young people.

In the 1950s and 1960s, the Mobylette became one of the most popular modes of transportation in Europe, with sales reaching millions of units. The moped was particularly popular among teenagers and young adults, who used it to commute to school or work or for leisure activities.

Over the years, Motobécane continued to refine and improve the Mobylette, introducing new models with larger engines and more advanced features. In the 1970s, the company also started to export the moped to other countries, including the United States, where it was sold under the name "Moto-Scoot".
