Peugeot Motocycles Moving Away From Being A Scooter Only Brand With The Peugeot P2X

Peugeot Motocycles shows its new logo, distinguishing itself as not limited to just scooters. Is the 125cc and 300cc P2X on the way? And by the way, yes, that is how Peugeot spells "Motorcycles" - as Motocycles.

Peugeot may be well known on two wheels for their scooter range, but a little while back they decided to ditch the ‘Scooters’ from their name and go for ‘Motocycles’ instead. 

Interestingly, searching Peugeot motocycles on a popular search engine will show two websites at the top, the first reading ‘Peugeot Motocycles - the oldest manufacturer of scooters’ with a dedicated website, the second being ‘Peugeot Scooters’ with another dedicated site. 

Weirder still, the Peugeot Motocycles website has the old ‘prancing lion’ logo, whilst the Peugeot Scooters site has the new ‘Peugeot Motocycles’ logo. Looking at the listed range on the site, and there are no motorcycles (yet). Now, I understand the need to distinguish from the Peugeot cars brand, but it seems like there is a lot going on here.

I’ve got to admit, for a smaller capacity bike, the P2X really does look impressive, and an option I’m sure plenty of Class 2B riders would be keeping an eye on if the tyres ever hit the road. And the 125cc P2X does look a lot like the Honda CB150R (or CB125R is you're going by Boon Siew Honda's official imported version). This would be another entry into the super popular retro-street Class 2B segment.

Perhaps an electric motor version is on the way, instead. Definitely an option for a motocycle/scooter company that’s been around since 1810, and making two-wheeled motor-cycles since 1898 (when they literally stuck a motor on a cycle, see what we did there). 

We’ll keep an eye out, but the new logo looks really cutting edge and modern, and we really like it.
