Motobécane Mobylette AV7
The Mobylette AV7 is the quintessential French moped — a 50cc 2-stroke single with a variator gearbox, pressed-steel frame, and 19-inch wheels. The AV (Avant-Variateur) engine with automatic CVT made it the easiest moped to ride in France, where the Mobylette became so common that "moby" became a verb.
