Blotto Triporteur

A Brief History of the Marque

Blotto Freres
3 Rue Charlot, Paris

The firm built motorised three-wheel delivery machines with proprietary engines between 1927 and 1955, or thereabouts, and had been building pedal-powered triporteurs for some years before that. They were very well known, having won the 1926 Triporteur Championship.

JLB gives dates of 1929 to 1955 and lists the following models:
Triporteur G 35 (1er modèle) de 1931 à 1932
Triporteur G 35 (2ème modèle) de 1933 à 1934

The 1929 Blotto Auto-Tri Triporteur had a 350cc Anzani engine.

Bonjour,
 
Je suis la petite-fille fille d' Anatole Lardy, qui a create les moteurs Ydral, et j' ecris l'histoire de cette societe et des assembleurs (+ de 60) qui ont achete ses moteurs pour leurs fabrications. Les Freres Blotto ont achete 3 moteurs chez Ydral en 1949 et en 1950 ( nous avons les registres des ventes) et je voulais savoir si vous connaissez des triporteurs motorises par Ydral.
 
Avec mes remerciements pour votre aide.
Bien cordialement
Versailles

Translation:

• I am the daughter-in-law of Anatole Lardy, who created the Ydral engines, and I write the story of this company and the assemblers (more than 60) who bought its Engines for their manufacture. Brothers Blotto bought 3 engines at Ydral in 1949 and 1950 (we have sales records) and I wanted to know if you know Ydral motorized scooters.
  With my thanks for your help.

I don't quite comprehend the question. Are you asking about other brands of triporteurs which employed Ydral engines? Ed.

• Hello and thank you for your answer.
  It is certain that Blotto bought 3 motor 125 cm3 at the company of my grandfather "Ydral" , http://www.club-ydral.net , 1 on August 3, 1949, with a long kick tree No. 1386, the two other, on February 21 1950, Nos. 4145 and 4137.
  So I'm trying to find out whether anyone has heard or seen a motorized Blotto by Ydral, to point it out in my future book.
  I remain at your disposal for any other question
  Best regards
  Catherine Bouillard
