Ever since spending time in South America I’ve had a fond feeling for Peugeot automobiles. Peugeot gave up on the United States in the early 1990s, but they’re going strong in Chile, where my friend works for their marketing team. I had the chance to drive a diesel 207 around, and I have to say I loved it. I had ridden in his car several times, but until I drove it, and he told me, I didn’t know it was diesel.
Peugeot may have just completely won me over for life with their HYmotion Hybrid Motorcycle. Hybrid? Indeed. It has a 125cc gas engine, and two electric motors, one for each front wheel. Oh yeah, it’s a three-wheeled motorcycle.
If that three wheel design looks familiar, you may be thinking of the Piaggio MP3. Notably a hybrid MP3 is also in production.
BMW tried making scooter with a roof, but it didn’t take off. I always thought it was pretty cool-looking though.
The Peugeot will be hitting European streets next year.
