Do you remember Thomas, who was looking for colleagues for a Solex tour from Bern to Paris? In the meantime, three daring people have come together and one person is driving the support vehicle. There’s still room for 1 or 2 more! Would that be something for you? here you can find more information about the trip and Thomas.

My name is Dédé, I'm 57 years old and I live on Lake Neuchâtel. In 1971 my grandfather, who lived near a gasworks in Solothurn, won a Solex 5000 in the cycling club's lottery.
As soon as my legs were long enough to stand on this Solex, he taught me how to ride it. As a ten-year-old boy, I was lucky enough to spend entire Sundays driving with him on the closed factory roads. 

I'm Andy, forty-two, from the region of Solothurn. I've been working on motorcycles for over 30 years now. The Solex have always impressed me, so I finally bought one in the summer of '22, cheap and in poor condition. I had no idea either, but I'm enjoying it more and more and the ugly duckling has become a beautiful swan. I definitely need it once every week, even if it's just to get fresh croissants in the village. People really enjoy it! Kind regards, Andy

The Swiss Velosolex scene is very active with its numerous clubs and individuals - but who are these people who take care of their Solex with dedication and lovingly slow down the Swiss traffic? We would like to put you, dear Solex residents, in the spotlight and portray you and/or your Solex.
Send us a photo (your Solex with or without you on it), tell us in a short text about your passion, your story, your collection or your experiences. Let’s get to know the Swiss Solex scene together!
