Peugeot Satelis 125
The Peugeot Satelis 125 has a top speed of 100 km/h (estimated, electronically limited as per 125cc A1 regulations), produces 11 hp and weighs 152 kg. Motoryk rates it 6/10.
Der Peugeot Satelis 125 wurde 2006 als Premium-Maxi-Scooter im 125-cm3-Segment eingeführt, der entwickelt wurde, um mit Modellen wie dem Honda PS125i und dem Yamaha Majesty 125 zu konkurrieren. Er war vor allem einer der ersten 125-cm³-Scooter, der über ein vollautomatisches CVT-Getriebe in Kombination mit einem Motor mit Kraftstoffeinspritzung und einer ABS-Bremse als optionales ABS-Bremssystem verfügt, was ihn zu einem anspruchsvollen städtischen Pendler macht. Der Satelis 125 war auf den europäischen Märkten für seine Verarbeitungsqualität und Technologie bekannt, bis Peugeot Motocycles Anfang der 2010er Jahre verkauft und umstrukturiert wurde.

Was Käufer wissen sollten
Reliable Chinese Engine
The Satelis 125 uses a Peugeot-branded engine with Chinese manufacturing roots, which makes it generally reliable for urban commuting but parts can be harder to source than Japanese competitors. Regular valve clearance checks are recommended every 4,000–5,000 km.
Watch the Variator
A common issue owners report is premature variator and belt wear, especially if the scooter has been used frequently in stop-start city traffic. Always inspect or replace the CVT belt if buying used, as neglect here leads to costly repairs.
Modest Resale Value
The Satelis 125 holds a lower resale value compared to Honda or Yamaha 125cc scooters, which can be a disadvantage when selling but a real bargain when buying used. Prices drop significantly after 3–4 years, making secondhand examples good value for budget buyers.

"Französischer Ehrgeiz in einem 125-ccm-Paket, das größtenteils hält."
Der Satelis übertrifft seinen Hubraum in Sachen Präsenz — er sieht wirklich aus und fühlt sich auch so an wie ein erwachsener Roller, kein hochgestrecktes Moped. Der flüssigkeitsgekühlte Vierventilmotor fährt sanft bis zu seiner Obergrenze von 110 km/h, obwohl Sie auf einer Autobahnauffahrt platt auf den Balken sitzen und darauf beten, dass Rückenwind diese Geschwindigkeit tatsächlich hält. In der Stadt ist es ruhig, mit einem gepflanzten Fahrgefühl, das schwerere Konkurrenten zu diesem Preis nicht erreichen können, und der 790-mm-Sitz ist bequem genug für 90-minütige Pendelfahrten ohne die üblichen Strapazen am Handgelenk. Die Schwachstellen sind jedoch real: Für einen 125er ist er schwer, die Wartungskosten stehen in keinem Verhältnis zur Motorgröße, und einen Peugeot-Händler zu finden, der tatsächlich Teile außerhalb Frankreichs auf Lager hat, kann ein gerissener Antriebsriemen wochenlang Kopfschmerzen bereiten.

"Decent scooter undermined badly by poor parts availability and support network."
$1,500-$3,200 usedThe Satelis 125 is Peugeot trying to play in Yamaha and Honda's backyard, and honestly? It doesn't quite pull it off, but it's not a disaster either. The underseat storage is genuinely generous, the ride is surprisingly comfortable for urban grinding, and the twin-shock rear setup gives it a more planted feel than most 125 scooters at this price point. Engine pulls cleanly up to about 90kph before running out of breath. Here's what'll bite you on a used example though — Peugeot dealer networks are thin on the ground, and finding a mechanic who knows these well is genuinely difficult. Parts availability is patchy at best. Check the CVT belt and rollers carefully, inspect the fairing clips obsessively because replacements are expensive and hard to source, and avoid anything that's been ridden hard in city traffic without service records. If you find a well-documented example under 15,000km, it's a usable urban commuter. But I'd want a significant discount over equivalent Honda or Yamaha scooters specifically because of that parts and support headache.
