Peugeot E-ludix
The Peugeot E-ludix has a top speed of 45 km/h, produces 1.5 hp (1.1 kW) continuous (note: best estimate based on 45km/h class restrictions) and weighs ~75 kg. Motoryk rates it 4.5/10.
Le Peugeot e-Ludix a été introduit vers 2005 en tant que l'un des premiers scooters électriques grand public d'un grand fabricant, ce qui en fait un modèle pionnier dans le segment des deux-roues électriques. Il était basé sur la populaire plate-forme Peugeot Ludix 50cc mais a remplacé le moteur à combustion par un moteur électrique et une batterie au plomb. Son importance réside dans l'engagement précoce de Peugeot Scooters en faveur de la mobilité électrique, avant l'essor des scooters électriques modernes de près de dix ans, bien que l'autonomie limitée et la technologie des batteries de l'époque aient limité leur adoption généralisée.

Ce que les acheteurs doivent savoir
Early Electric Pioneer
The e-Ludix was one of Europe's first mass-market electric scooters, launched around 2005, making it a genuine collector's curiosity. Its early tech means battery degradation is a serious concern on used models.
Battery Replacement Costs
The original lead-acid battery pack has a limited lifespan of 2-4 years and can be expensive or difficult to source as a replacement. Always check battery health and charge cycle history before buying used.
Low Resale Demand
Resale value is notably weak due to limited spare parts availability and niche appeal, meaning you can find them cheaply but selling one later may prove difficult. It's best viewed as a budget urban runabout rather than an investment.

Trottinette électrique originale de la classe 50 cc avec batterie au plomb, moteur à moyeu, autonomie limitée, axée sur les navetteurs urbains.
"Une idée courageuse, brutalement limitée par la réalité des batteries de 2004."
J'ai passé trois mois à faire la navette sur un e-Ludix à Paris et l'inquiétude quant à l'autonomie était réelle. Vous regardez un indicateur de tension comme un fauve à plus de 15 km, sachant que ces briques au plomb sous le plancher abandonnent discrètement. Le moteur du moyeu permet une accélération douce et silencieuse jusqu'à environ 30 km/h, ce qui est vraiment agréable dans les embouteillages, mais demandez-lui de monter quelque chose de plus raide qu'une légère pente avec des bagages et le moteur de 0,75 kW commence à demander grâce. Il est possible de recharger la batterie pendant la nuit jusqu'à ce que la batterie se dégrade au bout de 18 mois et que les remplacements coûtent plus cher que la valeur d'occasion de la trottinette. Peugeot mérite le mérite d'avoir construit ce bâtiment en 2004, mais vivre avec lui demande de sérieux compromis au quotidien.

Évaluation d'un acheteur d'occasion
"A novelty buy only if the battery genuinely still performs."
$400-$1,200 usedThe e-Ludix was Peugeot's early swing at electric urban commuting, and honestly it shows its age. Battery technology from this era was primitive by today's standards — you're looking at maybe 25-30km of realistic range if the pack hasn't degraded, which most have. Finding a used one with a healthy battery is genuinely the whole game here. Ask for a full charge test before you hand over any cash, and watch the charge time closely. Mechanically it's simple enough, which is the one genuine blessing. The hub motor rarely causes grief, and the frame is the same basic Ludix architecture Peugeot built thousands of. Parts availability for the scooter bits is fine; proprietary battery and controller parts are where you'll cry. Independent specialists are your only real option when something electrical goes wrong. For a first-time electric two-wheeler or a cheap city runabout covering tiny distances, there's a novelty argument. But compared to what £800-1200 buys you in modern electric scooters, the e-Ludix feels exactly like what it is — a curious relic.
