Motobecane was a pretty popular french brand around the time of the bike boom. Not quite as popular as Peugeot but up there. They also sold mopeds and motorcycles. The French Motobecane bicycles aren't related to the Motobecane USA bikes. A US company bought the rights to the name to use on their Imported bikes.
