OTHER - ABOUT SCOOTERS
Scooters
have made somewhat of a comeback over recent years. You can now see nearly
as many in our towns & cities as you do when on holiday in the Mediterranean...
The
scooter has become somewhat of a fashion item (again), probably due to
people like Jamie
Oliver - The Naked Chef and the BritPop music styles which
have made the style of the British Mod of the late 60's and early
70's popular once again. This type of fashion following includes modes
of transport (not many Vespas & Lambrettas seen now) as well as hair
styles and clothing.
Popular mode of Transport?
The scooter has once again become a popular means of transport for many
people. This popularity is especially prevalence amongst the young however
it is not confined to them. Whilst on holiday in Mediterranean countries,
both young and older types can be seen whizzing about in the resort towns
on this most convenient and cheap form of transport. The scooter also
scores well as urban wheels for a quick trip down to the shops or commuting
between home and work through the heavy traffic.
Peugeot Speedfight Scooters:
The Speedfight was introduced in 1997 and was an instant hit. The range
available in 50cc and 100c form has taken the UK by storm and, the Speedfight
has been the best selling scooter each year since it first came out. So
what makes the Speedfight so successful?
Market leading security features - a factory fitted immobiliser and pull out lock. A choice of two engines for the 50cc - a liquid cooled or an air cooled engine. Aggressive styling. Good performance Peugeot honed the characteristics of the single arm front suspension and refined the styling and handling in 2000, when they released the Speedfight 2. With new needle and roller bearings in the single arm, redesigned bodywork, a new grille and new one on one off headlights.
Awards:
MCN (Motorcycle News awarded the Speedfight 'Scooter of the year' in 1997,
98 and was highly commended in 1999. The Speedfight led the market in
security, with it's integral boa lock and immobiliser and the aggressive
styling set it apart from the other 50s and 100s on the market. In it's
new guise, the Speedfight2, MCN awarded Peugeot 'Scooter of the year'
yet again.
