Sales of affordable scooters from established manufacturers, like the V-Clic from Peugeot, have increased dramatically during the first two months of 2008 and look set to rise further as fuel prices and car tax [VED] escalate following the Budget. Statistics released by the Motor Cycle Industry Association show that the budget-priced Peugeot V-Clic is the best selling 50cc scooter this year and 30% of the Top Ten motorcycles registered in 2008 are sub-£1,000 50cc scooters (compared to only 20% for the same period last year).
Peugeot has added a bright red model to its range of budget-priced V-Clic scooters, which has been an instant success with British riders since its introduction in Autumn 2007.
Peugeot’s new budget-priced V-Clic scooter is sure to tempt commuters out of their cars and onto two wheels as increasing numbers of drivers look for ways to reduce time wasted stuck in traffic. Recent research reveals that one in six Britons spends the equivalent of an entire working day travelling to and from work in the course of a week. At just £799 on the road the V-Clic creates an affordable opportunity for many of them to experiment with the freedom offered by powered two-wheelers.
