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.
El Peugeot Satelis 125 se presentó en 2006 como un maxi-scooter premium en el segmento de 125 cc, diseñado para competir con modelos como el Honda PS125i y el Yamaha Majesty 125. En particular, fue uno de los primeros patinetes de 125 cc en incorporar una transmisión CVT totalmente automática combinada con un motor con inyección de combustible y una opción de frenado ABS, lo que lo posicionó como un sofisticado scooter urbano. El Satelis 125 gozaba de buena reputación en los mercados europeos por su calidad de fabricación y tecnología hasta que Peugeot Motocycles se vendió y reestructuró a principios de la década de 2010.

Lo que los compradores deben saber
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.

"La ambición francesa en un paquete de 125 cc que cumple en su mayoría."
El Satelis supera su cilindrada en términos de presencia: se ve y se siente genuinamente como un scooter adulto, no como un ciclomotor estirado. El motor de cuatro válvulas, refrigerado por líquido, se mueve sin problemas hasta alcanzar su límite máximo de 110 km/h, aunque te quedarás de brazos cruzados en las barras rezando para que el viento de cola pueda mantener esa velocidad en una vía de acceso de autopista. En la ciudad es tranquilo, con una calidad de conducción imbatible que los competidores más pesados no pueden alcanzar a este precio, y su asiento de 790 mm es lo suficientemente cómodo como para viajar 90 minutos al trabajo sin tener que cargar la muñeca. Sin embargo, los puntos débiles son reales: es caro para un 125, los costes de mantenimiento son desproporcionados en relación con el tamaño del motor y encontrar un concesionario Peugeot que realmente almacene piezas fuera de Francia puede convertir una correa de transmisión rota en un quebradero de cabeza durante una semana.

Reseña de un comprador usado
"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.
