Solex Service Ad v Heerbeek is located in the province of Brabant in Holland. A province where the Solex over 30 years ago found his resurrection. The solex driving in Brabant became famous in the races and the solex rental. On the Brabant roads the Solexes of the type 3800 and Oto are mostly riding around, the other types are often among collectors in the attic. There are the types Ami (blue solex) which is gaining more and more popularity. The Ami is especially popular with women, probably because of the striking colour of the Ami. In terms of engine and frame, the Ami is exactly the same as the type Oto. We also know the type Solex Pepper pot, the first type, and then the type Solex Koffertje (Dutch). The type Solex Sugar bowl is then released. The newer type of Solexes, 3800 and Oto, are the most popular under the Solex riders. Solex Service Ad van Heerbeek offer a lot of Solex pieces for these types

This stems from the ease of use of both Oto as 3800. The Oto and 3800 both have a link which is the comfort, while driving greatly improved. For the type of Pepper pot and type Koffertje should be the Solex always cycled speed. Even after the slowdown these types should be brought up to speed again. The type of Solex pepper pot is in the Netherlands in 1948 placed on the market. In the 50 ‘s the Dutch drove  on a Solex pepper pot or later on the type Koffertje. At that time a car was not affordable for many Dutch, the Solex on the other hand, because of its low price, though.

In total there are more than 8 million! Solexes sold all over the world. The type Solex Oto is the most sold model in the 60’s.

In France, the type Micron is made, the Micron was released in both the colours red and blue. The Micron was used by driving schools in France. The Micron is the version without headlight (red Micron) or blue Micron, with lighting. Of the type Micron there are only about 4000 Solexes made. This makes the Micron fairly rare.

For this reason, various Micron's brought from France into the Netherlands. Many Solex parts are interchangeable so many parts fits on the type of Oto / vd Heem or Ami also fit the types 3800 and 3800 S.

For the type of Peperbus there are not many pieces available for sale. In itself, this is logical because this type is of the late 50's! and so long been out of production.

Of the type Ami there is not much original to get. This is due to the specific shade of blue to Ami. Many Solex pieces intended to be black painted must be in blue. The Ami is only made for one year and therefore there is not much for sale. This makes the Ami becoming more a collector's item. Especially with the ladies, the Ami is popular.

Most of the pieces who Solex Service Ad v Heerbeek sells are intended to the type of Oto or (S) 3800. The type of Oto / vd Heem is still the most popular. On a good 2nd place the type (S) 3800 follows. The type (s) 3800 is increasingly used in recent years for the rental. Of the type (S) 3800, all parts are still available. The Solex pieces of the type Oto / vd Heem are not made for a long time and become less. Therefore we let remake a lot of parts from the type Oto Of the type of Oto / vd Heem we also have many used parts in stock. Both the type of Oto / vd Heem as Ami and Koffertje uses an iron tank, original. This gives iron tank, rust .Through  this rust , after a long time, the fuel tank of type Oto / vd Heem and Ami and Koffertje gets  often clogged. Therefore let Solex Service Ad v Heerbeek tanks make of brass.

The type of Peperbus and Koffertje are the oldest type Solexen. To use they are less popular because they have no clutch. Both the Peperbus and the Koffertje are more of a collector's item. Parts of this types are hard to find. The Peperbus   that have survived are stocked with collectors.

Very occasionally you can find parts of the Peperbus or Koffertje but these are exceptions. Of the type Koffertje again different parts are interchangeable with the type of Oto/vd Heem.
Solex Service Ad v Heerbeek strives to have all Solex pieces in stock. We make every effort to satisfy customers.
