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.
Le Peugeot Satelis 125 a été introduit en 2006 en tant que maxi-scooter haut de gamme dans le segment des 125 cm3, conçu pour concurrencer des modèles tels que le Honda PS125i et le Yamaha Majesty 125. Il a notamment été l'un des premiers scooters de 125 cm3 à être équipé d'une transmission CVT entièrement automatique combinée à un moteur à injection de carburant et à une option de freinage ABS, ce qui en fait un véhicule urbain sophistiqué. Le Satelis 125 était réputé sur les marchés européens pour sa qualité de fabrication et sa technologie jusqu'à la vente et à la restructuration de Peugeot Motocycles au début des années 2010.

Ce que les acheteurs doivent savoir
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.

"L'ambition française dans un package 125cc qui tient ses promesses."
Le Satelis surpasse sa cylindrée en termes de présence : il ressemble et se sent vraiment comme une trottinette pour adulte, pas comme un cyclomoteur allongé. Le moteur à quatre soupapes refroidi par liquide atteint en douceur son plafond de 110 km/h, même si vous serez à plat sur les barres en train de prier pour que le vent arrière maintienne cette vitesse sur une bretelle d'autoroute. En ville, tout est calme, avec une qualité de conduite que les concurrents plus lourds ne peuvent atteindre à ce niveau de prix, et ce siège de 790 mm est suffisamment confortable pour les trajets de 90 minutes sans les blessures habituelles au poignet. Les points faibles sont bien réels : elle est lourde pour une 125, les coûts d'entretien sont disproportionnés par rapport à la cylindrée du moteur, et trouver un concessionnaire Peugeot qui stocke réellement des pièces hors de France peut transformer une courroie de transmission cassée en casse-tête pendant une semaine.

Les inconvénients
Carrosserie révisée, tableau de bord mis à jour, système d'injection de carburant amélioré, réglages de suspension affinés.
Évaluation d'un acheteur d'occasion
"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.
