1955 Motobecane Z56C
From its initial small-engine beginnings in 1924, the Motobecane company enjoyed great success building ever-larger engines, but with the onset of the German occupation during World War II operations at its Pantin factory north of Paris were severely restricted. Immediately following the war, the company sought to continue building larger-engine motorcycles but lack of demand for powerful and expensive motorcycles caused it to abandon plans for further development. The company did build 125-cc and 175-cc motorcycles alongside the Mobylette and this 1955 Motobecane Z56C, nicknamed "Elana" by its third and current owner, is a typically French "cafe racer" -style 175cc machine. It is one of the last proper motorcycle built by Motobecane before moving entirely to Mobylette production in the late 1950's.

Tonight I'm posting a bunch of ads for cars that most will not know. Many are cars that do not require a license to drive in some countries.
175cc Ydral two-stroke one cylinder engine, optional is a four-stroke 250 AMC engine. These two engines were popular in this type of French microcar of the fifties.
I find that interesting as those two engines were used in the Ngo promoted Jet microcar that I've been researching for many years.
EVYCSA
Evycsa was a short-lived Catalan brand of motorcycle, built in Barcelona between 1953 and 1957. The brand had been founded by MÃ rius Vilaseca (1917-1955), a former competitive motorcyclist who had decided to produce his own motorcycle. He built his bikes using Fita-AMC engines; Fita being a manufacturer based in Figueres (Girona). The Fita-AMC 175cc, 4 stroke was the popular choice.
Vilaseca was an active member of the famous Penya Motorista Barcelona (PMB) and took part in many of their events. In 1955, whilst practicing on one of his own machines, Vilaseca was involved in an accident and rushed to hospital in Barcelona where he died from his injuries. Despite this, the company continued until 1957 when it was absorbed by the Fita engine supplier who launched a new brand at Figueres; MAF. This new MAF brand were built in Figueres from 1958 until 1964.
The machine in the photograph’s dates from 1956. It is displayed at the Museu Roda Roda, in Lleida, Catalonia.
