Peugeot Satelis 50
Large scooters have yet to make an impact in Britain, but Peugeot's Satelis 500 could change all that, says Kevin Ash
Peugeot is a late entrant into the big capacity maxi-scooter category, a fact that will have slipped past most people in Britain as the streets are not exactly overrun with 500cc-plus scooters.
Elsewhere in Europe though, especially Italy, they're big in more ways than the physical, as the combination of intercity commutability and ease of use has won many over to this unlikely cause.
The problem for the French factory has always been sourcing an engine, but that's solved now a deal has been struck with Italian giant Piaggio to use its 493cc Master single-cylinder motor.
