Peugeot Django 150
The Peugeot Django 150 has a top speed of ~110 km/h (estimated), produces ~11 hp and weighs ~138 kg. Motoryk rates it 6.5/10.
The Peugeot Django was introduced in 2014 as a retro-styled scooter paying homage to Peugeot's rich scooter heritage dating back to the 1950s. Named after jazz guitarist Django Reinhardt, it was designed to blend vintage aesthetics with modern technology, available in 50cc and 125cc variants, with the 150cc version offered in select markets. It became notable for its premium build quality, customizable color schemes, and classic design cues that distinguished it in the competitive urban scooter segment.

What Buyers Should Know
Watch the Carburetor
The Django 150 uses a carbureted engine that can develop jetting and idle issues if left unused for extended periods. Regular use and fresh fuel help prevent gumming problems that are common with this setup.
Retro Style Holds Value
The Django's distinctive 1960s-inspired design gives it stronger visual appeal than most budget scooters, helping it retain resale value better than plain competitors in its class. Buyers often pay a small premium for the vintage aesthetic.
Reliable but Basic Engine
The 150cc single-cylinder engine is mechanically simple and relatively easy to maintain, with parts generally available through Peugeot dealers. However, it is not known for sporty performance and suits urban commuting rather than highway riding.
Generations & Specs by Year
Original launch with 150cc 4-stroke engine, retro styling inspired by classic Peugeot scooters, twin rear suspension.
Used Buyer Review
"A pretty city scooter hamstrung by near-invisible dealer support."
$1,800-$3,200 usedThe Django 150 is Peugeot playing dress-up in vintage Vespa clothing, and honestly? It pulls it off better than you'd expect for the money. The retro styling is genuinely attractive rather than cheap-looking, the build quality surprises you, and around town it's relaxed and easy to live with. That 150cc single pulls smoothly enough for urban commuting, though don't expect it to embarrass anything on a freeway on-ramp. Here's where the used buyer needs to pay attention: these things sat in dealerships for years because Peugeot's North American network is basically non-existent. Parts sourcing is genuinely painful — budget extra time and money for anything beyond consumables. Check the carb hasn't been neglected, inspect the bodywork panels carefully because replacements are expensive to source, and verify the scooter hasn't spent winters outside uncovered. For a city rider who wants something that looks sharp parked outside a café and doesn't care about covering long distances, a well-maintained example is decent value. Just go in with eyes open about the support network situation.
