Peugeot’s fuel freebie
Peugeot is celebrating the arrival of its 100 mile per gallon Vivacity Sixties scooter by offering to cover the cost of fuel for the first 2000 miles – equivalent to free fuel for a year for most 50cc scooter riders.
The offer is remarkably simple. Peugeot has calculated that, based on average mileage and fuel consumption figures, it would be possible to run a Vivacity scooter for up to 12 months on 100 litres of fuel. Therefore anyone buying a new Vivacity Sixties scooter between now and 30th June will receive a cheque from Peugeot for £120, sufficient to buy 100 litres of unleaded petrol, unlss the cost of fuel rockets in the next few months of course.
Powered by a clean modern 4-stroke engine, the Vivacity Sixties has a classic colour scheme but also has many modern design features; its generous 8-litre fuel tank is located under the floorpan, rather than under the seat as with most scooters. This lowers the centre of gravity, giving better handling and allows for greater fuel capacity, meaning more miles between refills.
By relocating the fuel tank Peugeot could keep the seat height low, at 786mm, making the Vivacity accessible to most riders. Peugeot designers have created extra storage inside a lockable compartment the front legshield in addition to the substantial storage bay under the seat. There is even a 12V charging socket for phones and accessories.
Scooters with 50cc engines can be ridden by riders aged 16 and over (following Compulsory Basic Training) and people with a full driving licence held prior to February 2001 are automatically entitled to ride one. With widespread access to bus lanes and free parking too, scooters can dramatically cut journey times while helping owners to beat the recession too.
Priced at £1,699 on the road, the Vivacity Sixties is covered by Peugeot’s 2-year warranty for peace of mind. For further information visit www.peugeotscooters.co.uk.
