The Peugeot Citystar 200 has a top speed of 125 km/h — estimated, produces 16 hp and weighs 155 kg. Motoryk rates it 6.5/10.
The Peugeot Citystar 200 is a maxi-scooter introduced by Peugeot Motocycles around 2012 as part of their urban commuter lineup, designed to compete in the growing 200cc scooter segment popular in European cities. It features a single-cylinder four-stroke engine with fuel injection and was positioned as a practical, stylish option for urban and suburban commuting. Peugeot Motocycles, one of the oldest motorcycle manufacturers in the world (founded 1898), used the Citystar range to reinforce their presence in the modern scooter market.

What Buyers Should Know
Watch the CVT Belt
The continuously variable transmission belt is a known wear item on the Citystar 200 and should be inspected every 8,000–10,000 km. A neglected belt can snap unexpectedly, leaving you stranded and facing costly repairs.
Modest Resale Value
The Citystar 200 depreciates fairly steeply compared to Japanese rivals like Honda and Yamaha, which works in a buyer's favor when purchasing used. However, this also means you should expect lower returns if you plan to resell.
Check Cooling System
The liquid-cooled 200cc engine runs efficiently in urban conditions but is sensitive to coolant neglect — overheating issues have been reported on poorly maintained examples. Always verify coolant levels and condition before buying used.
Generations & Specs by Year
Initial launch with 170cc four-stroke engine, automatic transmission, underseat storage, ABS optional on some markets.
Used Buyer Review
"Decent urban scooter if you buy carefully and budget for parts."
$1,500-$3,000 usedThe CityStar 200 is Peugeot's attempt to muscle into commuter scooter territory, and honestly? It mostly works. The 170cc single (don't let the '200' badging fool you) pulls cleanly through city traffic, the underseat storage swallows a full-face helmet, and the twin rear shocks give a genuinely composed ride compared to cheaper Chinese alternatives. It feels like a proper European scooter, not a disposable one. Used, you're hunting for rust around the exhaust headers and checking the CVT belt — Peugeot's service intervals on these get ignored by casual owners. Electrical gremlins around the dashboard aren't uncommon past 15,000 miles, and parts sourcing is the real headache. Peugeot Motorcycles has had distribution issues in several markets, meaning a snapped brake lever can become a three-week wait. Budget accordingly. At the right price — we're talking sub-$2,500 with verifiable service history — it's a genuinely decent urban commuter. Pay over that and you're gambling on someone else's neglect.
