Peugeot Onyx Scooter

 

To accompany the Peugeot Onyx Concept supercar, or perhaps to offset a bit of its carbon footprint, Peugeot have also developed a trendy little three-wheel scooter concept. The aptly named Peugeot Onyx Concept Scooter features styling which closely matches that of the car. That means there’s plenty of crisp, sharp lines, lots of matt black paintwork, and some copper colored highlights around the front.

The Peugeot Onyx Concept Scooter features a removable center section meaning it can be used either as a scooter, allowing the rider to sit in a chair-like, foot-forward position. Or the central storage section can added and the rider straddles the seat like a normal motorbike. This center section has enough storage space to hold a couple of helmets or other cargo.

Thierry Sanseigne, Peugeot Scooters Marketing and Style Director, explains the concept: “The world of the scooter is transforming very rapidly around new expectations, new uses and new customers. Peugeot Scooters is driving this development and blurring the boundaries between motorized two- and four-wheeled vehicles.”

Powering the Peugeot Onyx Concept Scooter is a 400cc engine backed up by an electric motor. Combined, the drivetrain produces 60 horsepower and allows for a 93 mph (150km/h) top speed. The hybrid drivetrain can be run in 100 per cent electric mode for 18 miles (30 kms) at speeds of up to 31 mph (50 km/h). When using the engine the scooter has a range of 310 miles (500 km).
