“My first scooter and I love it!”
Written on: 19/07/2012 by Mi55Behaviour (8 reviews written)
I absolutely love my Vivacity. I've been using it for getting around town for 2 months now and I can't understand how I ever managed without it! I don't have much experience of scooters (a few rentals on holiday in Spain prior to this), but I would say that it's pretty nippy and very very comfy. There's bags of room under the seat too which will take my whole weekly shop with room for more. I'm sure that there probably better/quicker bikes out there, but for a novice like me this is the...

Hello, i have recently just purchsed a vivacity 50cc moped (2003). i baught it for £400 and it runs really well. i havent filled it up with fuel yet as ive only baught it recently. it has a seperate fuel and oil place but the oil looks like it could be 2 stroke oil. it smokes alot more than others. (could be because its old?) email me (jordan.paris@live.com) if you know anything like if its 4 stroke or 2 stroke. thanks (read more)

had new moped for two months and the exhaust blow.took 5 days to get new part,got it fitted and within a fortnight it went again,this time they tied it with a plastic tie and it is still holding at the moment.Next thing that went was the plastic below where you put your feet, started to crack.Got in touch with Peugeot in Madrid and they were totally unhelpful saying it was my fault,which I know that it was not as I am of the older generation .Would not recommend this bike at all.

“I have recently bought a Vivacity and absolutely love it. ”
Written on: 18/05/2011
I have recently bought a Vivacity and absolutely love it.
I don't have my CBT yet and am currently just practicing on it.
it's a great little bike, cheap to fill, goes for miles and isn't as loud as other scooters i've heard.
I payed £325 for mine and would definately reccommend it to family and friends.
I am only 5 foot 2 and feel really comfortable on the scooter although i do have to get off the seat to move the bike backwards (lol).
Other than that perfect first scooter.

Written on: 29/03/2011
stay away from this 2 stroke! have been riding these scooters for over 6 months and have already gone through three - soon to be 4 as the scooter is leaking fuel all over the place due to cheap faulty parts.
when it works it is good, clocking 37-40mph on a flat straight, the only problem is that it hardly ever works as it generally spends more time getting fixed than on the road which isnt good as i commute daily.
found out they are actually built under license in china? explains cheap...

Brought my Vivacity 2 weeks ago brand new 11 plate cost me £1,100.
Very nippy for a 50cc as many people have already said, Would definitely recommend this bike too all 16 year old's or any learners, I'm 16 now and have only been riding approximately 2 weeks and have already done 300 miles.
Very comfortable and very easy bike too learn on, Haven't had 1 problem too date, Also amazing amounts of space being able too fit a XL full face helmet under the seat and a half face helmet in the 2nd...

Written on: 03/03/2011
I bought a vivacity 50cc because I thought it would savce me money. It did on the insurance, just £90 a year fully comp from Express Insurance.
However the bike has spent more time in the garage than out on the road. I have had it for 2 months and in that time ridden it just 5 hours before it breaks down again and needs to be taken back to the garage.
The seat height is rather high too, especially if oyu are 5ft 5" like me lol.
Personally I would say stay clear of these 2 stroke monsters....

I brought my Vivacity about one month ago and all signs are good :) Ive had no problems and the performance of the bike is very good. I say this because my bike is just d-restricted and reaches 50mph. also another plus point is miles to the gallon does about 60-80 miles and only cost £4 a full tank.
Overall a very good first time moped and i would adversive anyone to get one

the moped only breaks down in the rain because the rear wheel doesnt have a mudgard to stop the water getting onto the spark plug. to solve this i got a milk carton and gut it in half and then cable tied it on to the bikes spark plug sprayed it with wd40 and then it works fine, i can garentee that this wil work and then if not u might need a new HT lead becuase it might have a whole in it and as soon as water gets init it cuts out then engine. hope this is god enough info for u ..

The bike at first doesn't seem very good but it actually has a lot of potential. When i derestricted it it ran at about 45-49mph...I know people who had to put sports parts on their bikes to achieve those sorts of speeds...now that I've put a sports exhaust 19 carb and mertakit sports variator it goes about 65-73mph and I'm thinking about putting in a 70cc cylinder. Someone mentioned how it breaks down whenever it rains...this is true..anyone know why? (read more)

i paid £800 from a dealer and i would pay it all over again because in 6 weeks i have put 500 miles on the clock and could do loads more .
this bike would be good for a new rider as it handles easily and is reliable, mine is still restricted so 35mph top whack but derestricted i know people that have had them up to 70mph so amazing oil round bike.

Written on: 29/12/2008 by buzzmaverick (1 review written)
I've had my 2001 Peugeot Vivacity for only 2 months but for 5 weeks of that it's been in the garage. I am aware some of the faults are due to it having been off-road for 2 years but others just occuring during use
1. Leaking fuel, wasn't leaking when I picked it up, but after first fill up petrol going everywhere, apparently carb/float/valve were screwed, so had to get them replaced.
2. Rattles... I can hear a really irrtating rattle when riding above and beyond the normal whine of a 50cc...

Major disappointed guy!

Written on: 30/03/2007 by DonJon (1 review written)
I have owned my Peugeot Vivacity compact 50 scooter for about a year now, and the first thing that springs to mind when I think of it is the nippiness of the thing. It will do 50 quite happily once de-restricted, although going against the wind or up even the slightest hill (I live in the fens so I know when the road is not level) will reduce the speed down to about 40.
The second thing that springs to mind is the strength of the scooter, although some panels feel a bit tacky.

The Peugeot Vivacity is a great first bike, easy to control, a real confidence builder but overall costs make it quite an expensive bit of kit.
Costs so far
Moped £600
3rd Party insurance £200
Carburettor £80
New Panels and lights (unless written off) £430
Fuel £300
Total = £1610
A loveable bike which when off the road for 5 weeks in the winter I really missed (carburettor knackered)

I brought a brand new Peugot Vivacity sportline because of its class looks and it is a lot better built than any other moped on the market. I also find it stands out a lot better more than any of the usual Speedfights and Yamaha neos! and so far I am loving it! The only problem is that it is still restricted to 30 and I am lookin into derestricting it. I would like to get a sports exhaust but as it has a catalyst I'm not sure if I can! Anyone got any tips?

Darren, go to www.taffspeed.co.uk and click on tuning, and follow the links to Peugeot (taffspeed.co.uk/page53.html). It will give you instructions on how to get this done. Another useful site is autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/2StrokeSmoke/message/22018. This link should take you to some useful advice.

My wife selected this Peugeot Vivacity 50 Scooter due to its good looks! Within 3 months it had to have a new carburettor and by Xmas 2004, it had been in and out of the dealers on several occasions to have fuel problems sorted out without any real success. The dealers were brilliant and have eventually replaced the carbs again, cleaned them out on several occasions but we are still experiencing problems now (Feb 05).... I would not reccommend this scooter to anyone else. (read more)

Only had the Peugeot Vivacity 50 scooter for four months, but no problems so far. I've been told that the electric start sometimes won't work in rain and cold, but I have had no problems as yet with this facility and the kick-start adds an extra solution should the electric start fail. Fuel consumption is minimal, and this machine gets me to and from work every day without fail (- darn). Nippy and stylish for a scooter and it's quick and easy to learn how to ride. (read more)

I bought my Peugeot Vivacity 50 Scooter 2 years ago and now HAVE to replace it. After having the bike stolen and recovered, I discovered that the parts are very expensive to replace. Bodywork is soo expensive that only a few panels costs more than the entire bike to replace. Now after only moderate use, I'm having to buy a new bike as it's not worth paying to replace worn-out parts as they are so expensive and can take a while to get hold of (although that might be down to my dealer).

Not meaning to sound rude but why didn't you put an alarm on it. Funny thought I know as its just a scooter but just attach a basic cheap car alarm if you don't want to pay for it to be done properly. The sparkrite is great. Just attach the positive wire to the positive side of battery and the negative to the negative and it works fine... makes sound when someone takes the scooter of the stand.
