That was the 2026 trip

On the sixth cycle ride organised by the VeloSoleX Switzerland association, we explored the Alpine region of Eastern Switzerland. The trip took us to Landquart, from where we even crossed national borders and cycled all the way to Vaduz. Along the way, we passed vineyards, cycled over the Rhine embankment and an ancient wooden bridge, and enjoyed the views of the Alps, castles and palaces. In the evening, we gathered for a cosy dinner and a convivial get-together.
Some pictures you find here.

Route 9 online

Even though our Solex bikes are fitted with pedals… we don’t really want to have to use them all that much 😅. Especially not in hilly and mountainous Switzerland.
The ninth Solex route is now available to download. It takes you through vineyards, across the Rhine embankment and an old wooden bridge, offering views of the Alps, castles and palaces. You can find this route and other Solex-friendly routes through Switzerland here.

Here you can find the previous five badges.

SRF feature “French cult vehicle”

French cult vehicle
Have you ever ridden a Vélosolex? It’s a revelation!
Author: Bernard Senn, 24 July 2026, 7.00 pm

Like a Vespa? No. Like an e-bike? Not quite. The Vélosolex, with its distinctive auxiliary motor on the front wheel, is arguably the most charming combination of a bicycle and a moped. This iconic vehicle is celebrating its 80th anniversary this year. Our author takes it for a spin – and falls head over heels in love.

Das war die Ausfahrt vom 14.9.24 in Allaman

Unter blauem Himmel trafen sich 51 Solexer und Solexerinnen am 14. September 2024 in Allaman im Kanton Waadt zur jährlichen Ausfahrt vom Verein VeloSoleX Schweiz. Die knapp 60 Kilometer lange Route führte uns zunächst in die Weinregion „La Côte“ und zu einer Weinkeller-Führung im Château de Vinzel. We continued through the vineyards across the French border to Divonne-les-Bains and from there to Nyon on Lake Geneva. We braved the strong headwind along the lake back to Allaman. In the evening, we were treated to a wine tasting organised by the Domaine de la Tuilière and a three-course meal by two members of the Club Les Potes au Feu .
You can find some photos here.
There is also a video of Lord Authentic on Youtube.
