Peugeot Kisbee: 50 cm³ scooter, generations and what to check
Peugeot Kisbee (from 2010) — a compact 50 cm³ city scooter designed for young riders and short daily commutes. We look at how the two-stroke and four-stroke versions differ, who the Kisbee suits, and what to check when buying used.
Kisbee in brief
Kisbee — a lightweight and simple scooter built for the city: low seat, small wheels, automatic transmission, and plenty of easy-to-reach storage. It's aimed at young riders and those needing an affordable daily scooter.
Thanks to its light weight and easy handling, the Kisbee is a breeze to park, can squeeze through tight spots, and doesn't demand much maintenance.
Generations — what's the difference
Kisbee comes with a 50 cm³ two-stroke (2T) and four-stroke (4T) engine. Later, a larger-displacement version hit some markets.
Versions differ in trim and features: Active (base), RS and R (sportier look), GT (more comfort), and special editions. When buying, check which displacement and version you're getting.
Engine and transmission
Most commonly found is the 50 cm³ engine with automatic CVT transmission — no need to shift gears. Power is modest, suited to the city.
Two-stroke versions need the right oil and regular servicing, while four-stroke versions are quieter and more economical. Brakes are disc and/or drum, depending on the version.
What to check when buying a used Kisbee
Warm up the engine: it should start without prolonged cranking, not smoke and have a smooth idle.
Check the variator belt and pulleys, brakes, tyres, electrical system and body plastics.
