French Peugeot scooter Geopolis - the best bike for city

  Peugeot Geopolis - this is quite a big scooter. The creation of this scooter enough attention paid to comfort, as I'll discuss later, but it was still a priority the development of French stylish bike. Peugeot has the ability to regain the favor of demanding audience. Dynamic design seamlessly blends smooth arc belt lines and sharp edges with ellipsoidal dome lights. The design of the rear part conjures up thoughts of futuristic Honda Pantheon: a faceted ruby is a stoplight in a frame of white direction indicators. Three wells chrome analog devices perfectly fits into the overall design concept, looking at the same time solid and dynamic.

 Despite the fact that the scooter is the same compact and is fully double, because of the driver's seat lumbar support with a strong impression for single scooter. Peugeot Geopolis full of surprises, and the first of them - a wide range of engines, which includes four power units with capacity from 125 to 500 cm3. The base engine is equipped with a volume of 125 cm3 4-valve head on the cylinder and produces 15 hp


The next 125-cc engine is the second-order, but not least, in a series of Geoplis. For the first time tested on a scooter Jet Force, this powerplant is unique. It is installed mechanical supercharger, allowing for the usual mass of 125 cc scooter engine power and traction to get the engine performance of 250 cc. Such a proposal yet, none of the competitors Peugeot, so that in the French innovation go forward.

The two remaining engines are more solid cubature: 250 and 500 cc, and in contrast to the 125 cc entry-level sports, the compressor is a premium ticket to the scooter class. As different as these engines, they all share an extraordinary loyalty to the environment. Concern Peugeot is one of the leaders in this area, offering its own injection system TSDI (Two Stroke Direct Injection). There is a recipe for four-stroke engines proposed for Geopolis. This advanced system of electronic fuel injection EFI, which was due to significantly reduce fuel consumption and, consequently, the level of harmful emissions.

Newbie model range the company can boast of not only advanced powertrains, but also the ability to realize their potential. In any case, the firm's representatives claim that the pleasure of driving and Geopolis - the same thing. A rigid steel frame, large wheels and a 35mm telescopic fork provides a reliable and predictable behavior of the scooter on the road. An integral part of driving pleasure is the comfort of the driver. Seat height 787 mm is acceptable for the vast majority of drivers, and well-implemented security legs and high windshield does not give reason to be upset even about the weather. Do not forget, and a passenger, his seat is comfortable enough, and successfully entered in the sidewall steps are taken flick of the wrist.

The presence of anti-lock brake system on a scooter - still a rarity, but the whole range of Peugeot Geopolis equipped with this useful system. ABS Peugeot scooter was designed in 1999 by joint efforts of specialists of the company and the German FTE. First used on a scooter Peugeot Elystar, this system has proven itself and after the last few years has undergone minor changes. Measurements of plant experts suggest that a dry coating Geopolis with ABS braking from a speed of 50 km / h in 8 m, while the scooter, devoid of anti-lock braking system, it will take to more than 2.5 m. If it is 60 km / h, the difference in measurements is almost 8 feet!

Finally about the practicality. Agree that the opportunity to move some utility will not give even the holder of the sport system, to say nothing of the city. For a small luggage like mobile phones, gloves, or anything else is not very dimensional, there is a glove box. Overall luggage, carefully packaged in bags, can be placed on the hook provided. The amount of space under the seat is not amazing, but the open-face helmet and rain gear are located. Those who are these containers will be clearly missed, addressed to the trunks of 29 or 45 liters.
