Peugeot Geopolis 300
The Peugeot Geopolis 300 has a top speed of 135 km/h (estimated), produces 22 hp and weighs 185 kg. Motoryk rates it 6/10.
The Peugeot Geopolis 300 was introduced in the mid-2000s as part of Peugeot Scooters' premium maxi-scooter lineup, designed to compete in the growing urban commuter and touring scooter segment in Europe. It featured a modern single-cylinder liquid-cooled engine and was noted for its practical storage solutions, comfortable ergonomics, and refined styling aimed at urban professionals. The Geopolis range was an important model for Peugeot Scooters as they repositioned themselves in the mid-displacement scooter market before the brand's later ownership changes.

What Buyers Should Know
Reliable Chinese Engine
The Geopolis 300 uses a single-cylinder 4-stroke engine sourced from Sym, which is generally considered dependable for urban commuting but benefits greatly from strict oil change intervals every 3,000–4,000 km.
Watch the Fuel System
Common owner-reported issues include carburetor clogging and fuel pump reliability concerns, so inspecting these components carefully before purchase is strongly advised.
Weak Resale Value
Peugeot scooters depreciate quickly in most markets due to limited brand prestige in the 300cc segment, meaning buyers can find used examples at attractive prices but should expect the same when reselling.
Generations & Specs by Year
Initial launch with 278cc single-cylinder engine, maxi-scooter styling, ABS option introduced later.
"Ambitious French maxi-scooter that tries hard but falls short."
The Geopolis 300 looks the part — properly maxi-scooter proportions that turn heads in a way most Japanese 300s simply don't — but live with it daily and the cracks show. That liquid-cooled single pulls decently from 4,000 rpm and will genuinely sit at 110 km/h all day without drama, but 22 horses moving 198 kg means you're always aware of the weight, especially in slow urban traffic where it feels noticeably heavier than its rivals. Storage is generous and the riding position suits longer commutes, but build quality in the early units was inconsistent — I had a centre stand that developed play by 8,000 km and switchgear that felt a generation behind Honda or Yamaha equivalents. The later ABS option was worth waiting for, because the stock braking setup on early bikes required real planning distance.

Used Buyer Review
"Capable urban scooter undermined badly by parts and support nightmares."
$1,500-$3,200 usedThe Geopolis 300 is one of those scooters that flies completely under the radar, which is both its charm and its problem. Peugeot built something genuinely usable here — the 278cc single pulls confidently enough for urban commuting and occasional dual-carriageway hops, and the underseat storage is actually generous compared to Japanese rivals. Riding position is upright and comfortable, and the wide floorboard gives your feet room to breathe on longer stints. Here's where it gets tricky on the used market though: parts availability is genuinely awful outside France, and finding a mechanic who knows these things is a lottery. Check the fuel system obsessively — the injection mapping on earlier examples could be temperamental and dealers who understood it are thin on the ground. Front brake feel is mediocre at best, so budget for fresh pads and fluid regardless of stated service history. These were never sold in huge numbers, which means surviving examples have often been neglected.
