Peugeot Metropolis

Peugeot Metropolis is also the name of the new 3-wheeled urban scooter. which stands out thanks to its style. its compact size and its dynamic capacities which provide a new type of shape: the urban electron.
With over a century's experience in 2 and 4-wheeled vehicles. who else but Peugeot could produce a vehicle like this? Who better than Peugeot can understand both the needs of drivers and aficionados of two-wheeled vehicles alike to offer the best synthesis? Who better than Peugeot to design tomorrow's mobility today?
Born from the joint efforts of the teams at Automobiles Peugeot and Peugeot Scooters. Peugeot Metropolis represents every facet of the Brand's know-how. combining the advantages of a car and a scooter into one package.
Stable and safe. protecting and comfortable. high performance and practical - this scooter represents the modern vision of a new type of 3 dimensional mobility.
A real technological gem. the Dual Tilting Wheels (DTW) front axle is composed of a dual triangulation deformable parallelogram. whose precision mechanic-style architecture enables the centre of gravity to be lowered and mass to be better centred. Combined with 2 dynamic drums and hydraulic single suspension. this front axle has independent. tilting wheels that can be locked electrically at low speed.
The design of the pressure-injected aluminium suspension elements also provides two advantages: additional stiffness and a reduction in non-suspended mass. lightening the steering and making control easier.
The product of automotive technology. this innovative front axle guarantees exceptional road-holding. Its compact architecture is also compatible with a completely flat floor. a first in this sector.
One visually remarkable element is the total absence of any ignition switch or lock on the vehicle: the traditional key is no more; Peugeot Metropolis has an electronic Smart Key which is recognised when the driver is within a 150 cm radius. To start the vehicle. the driver simply needs to unlock the steering. release the vehicle electronically by turning the button that replaces the ignition switch and start the engine by pressing the START button and the brake lever at the same time.
The Peugeot Metropolis has the same electric parking brake found on the Brand's premium cars. Located in the centre of the handlebars. it can be accessed easily and activated by pressing it.
