Description
Soyer 1930 350 cc OHV Chaise model SC 1 frame # 1860 engine # 6273
The firm of Soyer & Cie produced motorcycles between 1920 and 1935.
The company was originally established in Colombes, France and later on moved to Levallois.
Soyer was one of the very many French makes that used a variety of proprietary engines for their products, although they also produced their own power sources.
JAP, Sturmey Archer and Chaise were among the engines that were employed.
This particular machine is equipped with the well known handsome Chaise engine with outside flywheel and hand/foot controlled clutch. The dynamo and magneto are manufactured by NOVI and the dynamo is driven off the outside flywheel by means of a friction disc.
This charming vintage France bike has been carefully restored.
