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.
De Peugeot Geopolis 300 werd halverwege de jaren 2000 geïntroduceerd als onderdeel van de premium maxiscooterserie van Peugeot Scooters, ontworpen om te concurreren in het groeiende segment van stedelijke forens- en toerscooters in Europa. Het had een moderne vloeistofgekoelde eencilindermotor en stond bekend om zijn praktische opbergoplossingen, comfortabele ergonomie en verfijnde styling, gericht op stadsprofessionals. De Geopolis-serie was een belangrijk model voor Peugeot-scooters, omdat ze zich herpositioneerden in de markt voor scooters met een gemiddelde cilinderinhoud voordat het merk later van eigenaar veranderde.

Wat kopers moeten weten
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.
Generaties en specificaties per jaar
Eerste lancering met 278cc eencilindermotor, maxi-scooter-styling, ABS-optie die later werd geïntroduceerd.
"Ambitieuze Franse maxi-scooter die zijn best doet maar niet schiet."
De Geopolis 300 ziet er goed uit — de proporties van een maxiscooter die de aandacht trekken zoals de meeste Japanse 300's dat gewoon niet doen — maar ze leven er dagelijks mee en de scheuren zijn zichtbaar. Die vloeistofgekoelde single trekt behoorlijk snel vanaf 4.000 tpm en rijdt echt de hele dag zonder drama, maar 22 paarden die 198 kg bewegen, betekent dat je altijd op de hoogte bent van het gewicht, vooral in langzaam stadsverkeer waar hij merkbaar zwaarder aanvoelt dan zijn rivalen. De opbergruimte is ruim en de rijpositie is geschikt voor langere ritten naar het werk, maar de bouwkwaliteit van de eerste units was niet consistent. Ik had een middenstand die 8000 km langer speelruimte bood en een schakelinrichting die een generatie achterliep op Honda- of Yamaha-equivalenten. De latere ABS-optie was het wachten waard, omdat de standaardreminstelling op vroege fietsen een echte planningsafstand vereiste.

Beoordeling van gebruikte kopers
"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.
