Monet & Goyon Auto-Roue (Auto-Wheel)
This is cycle attachment was built under licence and was also available from BSA. The Monet-Goyon version came with 117cc, 119cc and 124cc twostroke engines. The device attached to the rear wheel of a bicycle and gave a top speed of up to 30km/h. Also known as Motor-Wheel and Roue-Motrice.

The VT1 was a single-seater with wicker basket. The VT2 was available as a carrier with a box at front, and the VT3 had a wicker basket for the rider and a wicker forecarriage style for the passenger.
Engines by Villiers, 250cc and 270cc.
Tyres: 550×65.
From the catalogue of 1923:
This model is directly derived from the Super-Vélauto T3, from which it inherits all its qualities. The only modification is the replacement of the front wheel with two parallelogram steering wheels; controlled by a steering wheel exactly like in a conventional car.
The general characteristics are therefore those of the Super T3. We describe only the specific features of the VT3 type below.
The front suspension consists of counterbalanced springs, acting under compression in an oil bath, inside the two steering bushings. The rear suspension is that of the T3. Gear change. Two speeds, both direct drive. The transmission is operated by double chains engaged alternately by an internal key controlled by a hand lever.
1925
The Velauto 2 CV received a 147cc Villiers engine. Later, the Super Velauto had a 270cc Villiers.
