The Type 56 is a small motorcycle/moped model produced by Peugeot in the late 1940s.

At first, the models had no rear suspension and used a parallelogram fork; from 1950 onward, a telescopic fork was introduced.
The Type 56 exists in several variants, such as the 56 TC, 56 T4, 56 TL4, 56 TB, 56 TS, and even a 56 GS “Grand Sport.”
It is a representative model of the small, popular post-war motorcycles and is now prized by vintage motorcycle collectors.
