Erwann knows this to be made by Paul David in 1954, with an Ydral 175cc engine and headlight from a Renault 4cv, handlebars and seat are from a Bernardet scooter, turn signal are from a Simca car... The whole bodywork is in steel and weighs around 16 lbs

  1. ORNI in french means "objet roulant non identifié", in english : "unidentified rolling object" :)
    This is a unique scooter made by Paul David in 1954, with an Ydral 175cc engine and other pieces picked of the shelf. The headlight is from a Renault 4cv, handlebars and seat are from a Bernardet scooter, turn signal are from a Simca car... The whole bodywork is in steel and weighs around 16 lbs.
