Peugeot Metropolis 400
The Peugeot Metropolis 400 has a top speed of 155 km/h, produces 34 hp and weighs 275 kg. Motoryk rates it 6.5/10.
De Peugeot Metropolis 400 werd in 2013 geïntroduceerd als een driewielige maxi-scooter en was daarmee een van de eerste kantelbare driewielers in het scootersegment en een directe concurrent van de Piaggio MP3. Hij stond bekend als een van de krachtigste en meest hoogwaardige driewielige scooters van zijn tijd, met geavanceerde technologie, waaronder ABS en een geavanceerd kantelbaar voorwielophangingssysteem. Het model heeft ertoe bijgedragen dat Peugeot Scooters weer een serieuze speler werd op de markt voor maxiscooters, hoewel de scooterdivisie van Peugeot later in 2015 werd overgenomen door Mahindra.

Wat kopers moeten weten
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.

Beoordeling van gebruikte kopers
"Capable, practical three-wheeler undermined by ownership costs and dealer scarcity."
$4,500-$7,500 usedThe Metropolis 400 is genuinely one of the more interesting three-wheelers out there, and used examples are decent value if you pick carefully. That Peugeot badge means parts availability is patchier than a Honda or Yamaha equivalent, so before you hand over cash, find out what your nearest dealer looks like. The triple-wheel setup gives you confidence in the wet that a conventional scooter simply can't match, and the 400cc twin puts out enough grunt for real-world commuting without feeling breathless on faster A-roads. The things that bite people on used examples are the CVT belt and the front suspension linkages. Both wear faster than you'd expect, and both are labour-intensive to sort. Check for any clunking over rough ground and insist on a recent belt change. The riding position is commanding and the storage is genuinely practical, but don't expect sports-bike handling dynamics — this is a commuter tool first and always. For the right buyer it makes solid sense. Just do your homework on service history and budget a few hundred for immediate maintenance.
