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.
De Peugeot e-Ludix werd rond 2005 geïntroduceerd als een van de eerste elektrische scooters op de massamarkt van een grote fabrikant en is daarmee een baanbrekend model in het segment van elektrische tweewielers. Het was gebaseerd op het populaire Peugeot Ludix 50cc-platform, maar verving de verbrandingsmotor door een elektromotor en een loodzuuraccu. Het belang ervan ligt in de vroege toewijding van Peugeot Scooters aan elektrische mobiliteit, die bijna tien jaar vóór de opkomst van de moderne elektrische scooters was, hoewel de beperkte actieradius en batterijtechnologie van die tijd de wijdverbreide acceptatie beperkten.

Wat kopers moeten weten
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.
Generaties en specificaties per jaar
Originele elektrische scooter uit de 50cc-klasse met loodzuurbatterij, naafmotor, beperkt bereik, focus op woon-werkverkeer in de stad.
"Dapper idee, brutaal beperkt door de realiteit van de batterij uit 2004."
Ik heb drie maanden pendelen met een E-Ludix in Parijs en de angst voor de actieradius was echt — je kijkt naar een spanningsmeter die als een havik voorbij 15 km rijdt, wetende dat die loodzuurstenen onder de vloerplanken het stilletjes opgeven. De naafmotor zorgt voor een soepele, fluisterstille acceleratie tot ongeveer 30 km/u, wat echt aangenaam is in stop/startverkeer, maar als hij met bagage iets steiler dan een lichte helling beklimt, begint de 0,75 kW om genade te smeken. 's Nachts opladen is prima totdat de accu na 18 maanden kapot gaat en vervangingen meer kosten dan de tweedehandswaarde van de scooter. Peugeot verdient de eer dat hij dit in 2004 heeft gebouwd, maar om ermee te leven zijn dagelijks serieuze compromissen nodig.

Beoordeling van gebruikte kopers
"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.
