New
for summer 2015, the Blue-Line is a special edition of the Peugeot Metropolis
three-wheel scooter. Its distinctive two-tone bodywork is inspired by the
latest automotive colour trends and is enhanced by machined black wheels with
blue detailing and a dual-texture sport seat, highlighted with blue stitching.
The Blue-Line also gets a low-profile smoked sport windscreen and black engine casing.
Power
is supplied by Peugeot’s new 400i Low Friction Engine. The two front wheels
tilt when cornering, so the Metropolis corners and steers like a motorcycle,
but with three tyres gripping the road, it is reassuringly stable, whatever the
conditions. Riders can lock the Metropolis upright at the push of a button, for
improved stability in slow-moving/stationary traffic, at the petrol pumps and
for ease when pushing it into a parking space.
Synchro
Braking links the twin 200 mm front disc brakes and 24 0mm rear for powerful and
controlled stopping. Tyre pressure monitors, with a real time display in the
dashboard, are included as standard. Other technical features include an
electronic key-less ignition that is recognised within 1.5 m of the Metropolis and
and electric parking brake’ operated by a switch located in the centre of the
handlebars. Daytime LED running lights. Twin storage bays located beneath the
seat and boot can be independently opened remotely using buttons on the
dashboard and a 12-volt power socket is in the glove box.
The
multi-position windscreen can be
adjusted to suit without tools. The Peugeot Metropolis Blue-Line is an A2
category motorcycle but can can be ridden on a car licence by drivers who
passed their test before 19 January 2013. It sells for £ 7199- on the road and
is covered by a two year unlimited mileage manufacturer’s warranty.
