Company History
Peugeot Motocycles spans from early motorized bicycles to today’s stylish, city-focused scooters. The brand became a European urban staple with rugged delivery mopeds, then modern EFI scooters that pair French design with practical features—ample storage, weather protection, and dealer networks that understand commuters. Models like the Speedfight gave youth culture a sporty icon, while the Django revived mid-century elegance with contemporary safety. Corporate ownership shifts (including links with Mahindra) focused the lineup and strengthened export strategy. Historically, Peugeot stands for dependable urban mobility wrapped in approachable style: machines that survive rain-soaked commutes and still look sharp outside a cafe. The badge’s longevity comes from treating scooters as tools first—quiet, frugal, easy to service—without neglecting the pleasure of good design.
