The Solex died out with the advent of the Mobylettes which had better performance. A Solex is only good for about 20mph and doesn't like hills, but the Mobylettes and then the Japanese mopeds cornered the market. I have to admit that mine diesn't get much use as I also have a Honda Melody wwhich is light years ahead of the Solex but if you live in a city where its flat they can be quite useful, if archaic. Just like a Seven.
