Motobécane made Mobylettes so assume it came from a Mobylette dealer also several places in France called Ruelle, though dealer name definitely sounds further East

Very nice video! I recently got a solex aswell (a slightly newer model from 1968) but I was wondering how you would stop it, I did ask around on some forums and the people there said that you need to push a lever on the right hand side and then the motor will automatically shutoff, I was wondering if you could maybe confirm this? Thanks in advance and again: a very nice and detailed video!

Hi, yes mine had a lever on the right hand more of a weird sort of throttle, to be honest, if you pushed it to certain amount, it just cut the engine out
