Sarolea Motorcycles

Manufactured 1900-1956, 1957-1963, 2008-2024
84 Rue St Lambert, Herstal (Belgique)

The firm was established by Joseph Saroléa in 1850 at Herstal (Liege) as an arms factory, and bicycle production began in 1892.

Two years later Joseph died and his widow and sons assumed management. The firm thrived and early in 1901 the first Sarolea motorised bicycle was built, with an engine designed by Martin Fagard (who went on to become chief engineer). The following year Fagard won the Belgian championship aboard one of these motor bicycles, and in 1903 sales of racing machines to Italy commence, with Maffeis winning the daunting Susa-Mont Cenis event.

Saroléa was soon well established in the market and by 1907 the firm employed around 200 staff working in a factory of 4000 square metres.

Both singles and V-twin engines were constructed, and these were supplied engines to a number of firms in several countries. Complete Saroléa machines were sold in Great Britain under the Kerry brand.

Saroléa used a variety of British components including AMAC carburettors and Sturmey Archer gearboxes, the latter replaced with Sarolea boxes in 1927.

During the 1920s and 30s the firm was involved in competition events including reliability trials and hill climbs, fielding OHV machines which proved both succesful and popular.

Postwar, the firm survived until 1957 when it joined forces with FN and Gillet-Herstal. Sarolea-badged machines continued to appear until 1963, at which time the company was taken over by Gillet and Sarolea machines were no longer marketed.

Some Sarolea mopeds used HMW engines.
Other manufacturers using Sarolea engines include:

Sarolea in the 21st Century

In 2008 a new firm was created to build electric motorcycles, and in 2014 the Saroléa SP7 electric superbike was announced at the Mettet circuit in Belgium. The machine is said to accelerate from 0 to 100 kph in 2.8 seconds, and to achieve 250 kph at full gallop. They achieved a 4th place in class at the 2014 Isle of Man, just a nose behind the 3rd place winner. Their machines were featured on the Bridgestone display at the 2016 Milan EICMA.

Suche Sarolea
Sarolea 350 / 600 OHV

Hallo,
ich würde mir gerne zu meinem 50. Geburtstag eine Sarolea schenken (kaufen).
Da ich dieses Motorrad auch viele Kilometer auf der Straße fahren möchte, kommt eigentlich nur ein Modell, das nach 1945 gebaut wurde, in Frage.
Ich würde ein OHV-Modell bevorzugen, wobei ich dieses Motorrad durchaus auch restaurieren würde.
Wer kann mir helfen ein solches Motorrad zu kaufen oder wer würde mir eins verkaufen?
Wer hat ein Handbuch oder eine Ersatzteilliste die ich als Kopie bekommen kann ? ( Typ 1947-54 / B; S6; BL; SL6; VENDETTE; GD.TOURISME)

Hello,
I woud like to buy me a Sarolea motorcycle for my 50. birthday.
I woud like to drive a lot of kilometers with this cycle, so I think it must be a model build after 1945. I prefer an OHV-model and I can fix it up, if it is in a bad condition.
Who can help me, to find such a cycle or can sell me one?
Who have a manual or a list of spare parts, which I can get in copy ? ( Typ 1947-54 / B; S6; BL; SL6; VENDETTE; GD.TOURISME)

Thank you and sorry for my english, if it is not so good as it shoud be.

Sarolea S4S or S6
Hallo, I just bought a fantastic bike Sarolea. I am not sure about the model, year and also by capacity of the engine. There is a No. 306154 on the frame and 34S 306154 on the gearbox. But on the engine there is S6 306154 but the numbers were re-striked. Also the size of the cylinder seems to be 600 cm. I am looking for any information or exchange of pics and experiences.

Hi Sarolea bikers!
I just bought this 350 cc A37-(1937) 3 gear Sarolea in Holland and would like to share the picture with you. Its been restored and looks quite nice although the handlebars are a bit rough, already found new factory fresh ones in Belgium which will be mounted soon.

The paintjob is not original I've been told, does anyone out there have any idea of colour schemes used in 1937 ?

Would also like to find an owners manual and technical data ? ( I'm getting Beckers book; La maison Sarolea soon - which will help)

Is there a Sarolea club somewhere ? ( Holland/Belgium) I also need new Sarolea decals...any idea? Can anybody help?

Thanks and keep them riding!
Best regards from Holland

Hello!
I have just bought me a Sarolea - I think at least. I believe the vintage is 29-31, and it has a Blackburne 500cc sidevalve engine. Does this model exist? --Regards -- Fredrik -- fredrik.lange at swipnet.se
There is an image of this bike, described as a Sarolea 36T c1930, in the galleries. Ed.


March 21, 2001
Hi,
I found some technical information on Sarolea bikes I wanted to share with you, it's a French website: http://users.skynet.be/ittrois/conseil0.html 404 Page Not Found

there's more, pictures and all on their home address:

well that's for what I found,

I would be glad if anyone could tell me more about '30 36T 1 of 350cc sidevalve.
I couldn't find the model in my book, but it's probably gonna be my new restoration project. See the picture and mail me if you have special interest.

Hello Friends,
Is there somebody who could help me with the colour references, stripes and or logo's of 400cc Sarolea? A friend of my is completely re-building sudge bike. The only thing is that the owner before him, did a very bad job, killed a lot of bolts, modified parts and of course gave it a not true colour. To help my friend it would be very fine to receive some pictures of sudge bike and when possible original colour references.

January 14, 2001
Hello Sami,
Normally the engine number is the same as the frame number, in your case the engine number is correct because there are always 6 numbers. Your Sarolea is not correct, this is often with motorbikes that come from Russia, they used parts from Russian bikes to keep an old bike in rideable condition. The fuel tank, horn mudguards and steering bars are not correct. This is what I can see on your photo.

What I have is a "Sarolea". There actually was such a bike. There are many stories as to when "Charles Sarolea" started the company, some say around 1917, some even earlier. They stopped building bikes in 1957. Somewhere in Belgium. Mine is a two cylinder, had it apart several times, trying to stop the overhead valves from sucking in so much oil. I measured the cylinders stroke and it was almost exactly 600cc. (300 each). It has been in my family since 1957, when my brother first bought it from a exchange student who went to Belgium to study. As near as I've been able to find out, I must own the only one left in the world. (This year and model that is).

I did receive a e-mail from a gent in Belgium who said he lived very close to where they were made. I responded to him and asked him where it was and all he could find out about it. I haven't heard back yet.

Great talking to you, I look forward to hearing more from you. Beat regards.
