7. Some antique collectors just have a passion for history. They like to be familiar with and to know why an individual object was used, how ıt had been used or who applied it. They are interested by the obvious ways which the world and technology possesses changed and grown. By collecting objects on the past they feel like they are partially connected to a period in which they for no reason lived, is long gone but somehow still survived.

8. I have in Pordenone(Italy)an Automoto original from Ottavio Bottecchia winner of tour France 1924.
   A great bike!

9. For Bob Sirkus or any other indivudual interested in restoring an Automoto bike. I found a bicyle restoration company in Vista California called Cycle Art. They have the orignal art required to restore an Automoto on file and professionally redid my Automoto. It looks great!.

   • Question, did CyclArt really have artwork on file for an AutoMoto? Thanks, K. Johnson

10. My parents bought me a 20″ Automoto model in 1955. I still have the picture of me proudly holding it up in front of the Christmas tree. Other kids in the Bronx NYC got Shwinns or Huffy’s but none could catch me on a long uphill climbs that make up the Bronx. Light durable and speedy it made me admire things French. It was one of the reasons I studied French in High School. I cared for the bike well and never forgot the name. One day I just tried a search and was shocked to see the green frame and red tires I had raced on appear on your website. Thanks for the connection..

11. I have also just come across an AutoMoto 3 speed, no wheels or seat.
    Very light & graceful lines. Unfortunately seat stays detached
    from frame due to rust. Any tips how to re-attach without brazing or weld. (shop wants $90 to look at it!)
    Brake levers have plastic shrouds.

12. I found what i suspect to be an early 60’s automoto 3 speed in very good condition for its age. Having alot of trouble finding out info on bike. It’s the first time even ebay couldnt gimme an idea of value, all they have is a poster of it. If you find any helpful sites let me know please.

13. i have a late ’50s Automoto 3 speed which was my bike as a teenager. i would like to get it restored. can anyone provide information on where to find parts?

14. I have an Auto Moto bicycle from the early 1960’s. It was given to me by

16. […] In 1960 Terrot was unceremoniously absorbed into the Indénor subsidiary of Peugeot. Assembly of motorcycles continued until stocks at another Peugeot subsidiary – Automoto – were depleted in 1961. Lingering market demand compelled Peugeot to continue building general purpose bicycles under the Terrot name until 1970. […]
