Peugeot Metropolis 400
The Peugeot Metropolis 400 was introduced in 2013 as a three-wheeled maxi-scooter, making it one of the first tilting three-wheelers in the scooter segment and a direct rival to the Piaggio MP3. It was notable for being one of the most powerful and premium three-wheeled scooters of its era, featuring advanced technology including ABS and a sophisticated tilting front suspension system. The model helped reestablish Peugeot Scooters as a serious player in the maxi-scooter market, though Peugeot's scooter division was later acquired by Mahindra in 2015.

What Buyers Should Know
3-Wheel Stability Advantage
The Metropolis 400 uses Peugeot's tilting three-wheel system, giving it superior stability at low speeds and in corners compared to traditional two-wheelers. This makes it especially appealing for urban commuters and riders returning after a long break.
Watch the Tilt Lock
The tilting lock mechanism is a known wear point — buyers should test it thoroughly and check for smooth, rattle-free operation. Neglected maintenance on this system can lead to costly repairs unique to three-wheelers.
Holds Value Reasonably Well
As a niche, premium three-wheeler with limited competition in its segment, the Metropolis 400 tends to retain value better than comparable two-wheel scooters. Low production numbers and a loyal owner base help support used market prices.
