The new Geopolis 125 scooter from Peugeot offers a perfect balance between performance, handling, safety and convenience in a highly sophisticated package.
With its large 16" wheels, curvaceous bodywork, chrome trim and halogen headlights the Geopolis oozes city chic and has a specification to match.
The design team working on Geopolis identified that safety and security were important issues for a significant number of potential owners, so included Peugeot’s acclaimed ABS-PBS system. This anti-lock and powered braking system combines three types of assistance:
1. Anti-lock linked to the twin 260mm discs on the front wheel
2. Automatic distribution of the brake force between the two wheels (through the left-hand rear brake lever) and
3. Electronic boost to the power exerted on the brake lever.
Its double optic headlights are derived from the Peugeot 407 and are fitted with H7 halogen bulbs for maximum illumination.
The name Geopolis means “world city” and the large 16” diameter wheels and sports profile tyres ensure that this scooter offers a sure-footed ride with excellent stability over the myriad road surfaces found in towns and cities. This is good news for potential owners intending to use the Geopolis on the country roads too. Its compact design and low weight make it easy to manoeuvre through the traffic and easy to park where space is at a premium.
A responsive and gutsy 15 HP liquid cooled 4-stroke engine, with fully automatic transmission, delivers plenty of usable power. The Geopolis is Euro 3 compliant, which ensures that it is clean and economical and meets the stringent current standards on emissions, helping to minimise your carbon footprint.
Peugeot’s design team understood that it was important to create a vehicle that scored highly in terms of comfort, convenience and security for customers requiring everyday transport. The windshield and bodywork work in harmony to provide protection from the elements and the dashboard features speedometer, rev counter, fuel gauge and embedded LCD panel to display information from the trip computer night & day.
Beneath is a glove compartment with a handy 12V power socket so a ‘phone can be charged while on the move and there is a fully integrated storage compartment under the seat, with plenty of space to carry shopping or to store apparel at the end of the ride. The Geopolis is fitted with an integral 1.4 metre security chain by Abus of Germany, which is secured to the chassis, so the vehicle can be quickly and easily secured when parked.
Peugeot’s Geopolis 125 Executive delivers performance and sophistication in a package that may even be ridden on L-plates. It is available in the UK in a choice of Metallic Black, Luxus Grey and Sunset Orange for £3,264 on the road. The Geopolis has a 2-year manufacturer’s warranty for peace of mind and preferential rates of insurance are available through Peugeot’s long-term partner, (MCE 0870 01 01 125).
