Peugeot Buxy: 50 cm³ moped from the 1990s, what to know
Peugeot Buxy — the compact city moped produced from 1994–2003. We look at its purpose, engine, and what to check when buying an older moped like this.
Buxy in brief
The Buxy is a compact 50 cm³ city moped designed for short daily commutes. It's lightweight, simple, and cheap to run, making it a popular choice as a first set of wheels.
Today, this is quite an old model, so when buying, focus on the technical condition and proper documentation.
Versions
Over its production run, the Buxy came in several variants and colours, but the core design remained largely the same. Identify the specific version and equipment by the engine number and documents.
Since supply is limited and the model may vary across different markets, don't rely solely on the name.
Engine and transmission
The Buxy is powered by a 50 cm³ single-cylinder two-stroke engine. The transmission is an automatic belt-driven CVT, making it easy to ride.
For the 50 cm³ class, drivers typically need an AM category licence, but check your country's regulations.
What to check when buying a used Buxy
Check the engine and variator: starting should be smooth, acceleration steady, and exhaust fumes not overly thick. For the two-stroke engine, inspect the piston and cylinder condition, as well as oil supply.
Inspect the plastics, frame, brakes, tyres, and electrical equipment. Ensure the documents match the numbers, and check part availability in advance.
Versions and trims
Names and equipment vary by market and year; here we describe the main versions.
