Derny is a French brand, best known for its motorcycles and motor-assisted mopeds.
The Derny cyclotandem is a pedal-powered vehicle assisted by a motor, allowing two cyclists to ride together with mechanical support.
These models were used for touring and sports training, notably for pacing behind motorcycles in track races.
