The firm was founded at Neuilly sur Seine in 1902 to manufacture bicycles. Soon after that the French Zedel factory was brought under the complete control of Alcyon. Subsequently most Alcyon motorcycles would be equipped with Zedel or Zurcher engines. It appears that only in 1925 JAP engines were used. In the early twenties several makes were taken over, such as Labor, Thomann, Française Diamant and Olympique. After 1945 mostly light motorcycles, scooters and mopeds were produced till the giant Peugeot took over in 1954. This particular machine is in exceptionally good original condition, only the tank transfer has been renewed. Apart from the engine the machine is also equipped with a British Moss gearbox and Amac carb. A Swiss lighting system with rear wheel driven dynamo is employed.
