Peugeot built their first motorcycle in 1898 with a De
Dion-Bouton engine mounted on the rear wheel - it was never produced.
In 1901 the first 1.5hp Peugeot motorbike was
presented and by 1934 a wide range of 500, 350 and 175 cc motorcycles as
well as a 100cc moped were launched.
In 1934, its P515 (495 cc) beat an incredible
nine world records, including the 3,000 km race where it clocked an
average of 118 km/h and in 1955 Peugeot won the Bol d'Or and Le Mans
motorcycle races.
The era of scooters got under way in 1955 when
Peugeot launched the production of its S55 and S57 scooters with a
design that was reminiscent of their 4-wheeled 203 sister and by 1974 it
achieved record braking sales with the P103 series.
Over the years Peugeot remained a French manufacturer of scooters and small motorcycles.
Today The company operates as a subsidiary of Indian manufacturer Mahindra that
owns 51% of Peugeot Motocycles since 2015. The PSA Group retained 49% in the
company.
