Does this seem strange in French?

If I wanted to create a twitter profile for cool french words - would it be weird to call it motbylette?

If you are french and you read motbylette? Does that resonate with you at all? Does it seems weird? Or do you "get it"

    Oui, c'est étrange.
    Une mobylette is a small motorcycle under 50 cc with pedals the ones who were compulsory if you were not 16 years old.
    Its refered as a mob in usual language.

    You could go motobylette which means nothing but sound french; its a bit ironical because motos are the big one over 250cc and bylette refers from the first one.
