This base model evolved (from the B1) en is ontwikkeld met feedback van klanten, to incorporate a number of improvements – notably a reverse gear, herpositionering van de uitlaat, larger air filter, upgraded carburettor and front protection to the engine, latterly to take internal wheel weights. It was renamed the Energic motoculteur B5. Eventually weighing in nearer 280kg (priced at 6850fr).

At the same time as the improved Energic motoculteur B5 model introduction a new Energic motoculteur B4 model was introduced. Dit model nam de chassisspecificatie op als het B5-model, maar gebruikte een 4 stroke engine, 3 speed and 5cv (priced at 7850fr). Dit was de voorloper van de C7 B4L en werd stopgezet toen de nieuwe motor van Motobecane beschikbaar kwam bij 7cv. (A Slanzi engine version has just been discovered – zie kleurenkaart foto hieronder,en).

In 1933 a new variant of the Energic motoculteur B5 arrived, the B5E. A specialist ultra model for narrow plantations. Its width could be altered to 0,50m, 0,61m and 0,72m. It was identical mechanically in every respect to the Energic motoculteur B5 but for the narrow width. Er werden er maar weinig geproduceerd.

The Energic motoculteur B and B5 engine, being 2 stroke, was lubricated using Fuel/Oil mixture at a ratio of 8%. Consuming approx. 1 to 1.5 liter brandstof per uur – under normal conditions. Weighing in at just 240Kg’s it was used for light work. With machine widths obtainable between 0.57m, 0.71m and 0.82 of a meter – which was achieved by changing the wheels inside and out on the axles. Turning/direction changes were obtained by blocking one wheel whilst the other rotated freely, by pushing a lever on the handlebars to engage the blockage of the wheel. Het had een kettingaandrijving van de gemodificeerde motormotor, with implements attached for towing using the “Breveté S.G.D.G” hitch/towing system. Alle transmissietandwielen liepen in een eenvoudig reservoir/bad met zelfsmerend olie. De Energic motoculteur B5 bood een ploegdiepte van gemiddeld tussen 15 to 20 cms.
