Peugeot Pulsion: generations, engine and what to check when buying used
The Peugeot Pulsion has been available since 2019 as a 125 cm³ class city scooter with a modern look. We explore its features, generations and what's important to check before buying used.
Pulsion in brief
The Pulsion is Peugeot Motocycles' city scooter with a sporty, contemporary design. It's aimed at young riders and those seeking affordable daily transport.
With a 125 cm³ engine, it can be ridden with an A1 or B category license, depending on local regulations. Often comes with ABS and LED lighting.
Which version to choose
The Pulsion debuted in 2019, followed by the 'Evo' version with updates. Newer models usually come with more features and a more modern design.
As the model is relatively new, you'll often find low-mileage examples in the used market. The key is to check the specific scooter's condition and service history.
Engine and transmission
The engine is a four-stroke, single-cylinder, 125 cm³ unit with electronic fuel injection. Power is limited to A1 category levels.
The transmission is an automatic CVT (continuously variable transmission). It's easy to ride and economical to run.
What to check when buying a used Pulsion
Test the scooter's acceleration from a standstill and check for any unusual noises. Inspect the plastics for cracks or damage from falls.
Check the brakes, tyres, lighting and instrument panel. Ask for the service history and ensure any recall work has been carried out.
