“Had my Sum-up from new.”

★★★☆☆

written by on 09/04/2013

Well I bought my Sum-up in 2008 brand new with only 5 miles on the clock. So what can I say, well as soon as I drove it away from the dealers I knew I had made a mistake. The bike just feels underpowered and the engine always sounds like it is struggling. In the 5 years I have had it I have come to like it but I would not buy another one. It has so far only covered 3450 miles so has plenty of life left in it yet but I understand where people are coming from regarding the build quality. I also have had the problem with the mirror welds breaking, just a bad design if you ask me. But my local garage was able to reweld it for me. Rust, sure it has some but I have covered it with Hammerite and it's been fine, however my bike is kept garaged and should not in all fairness have rusted so quickly (the exhaust being a big culprate). Overall I agree you get what you pay for. I wouldent buy another but I will keep mine going as long as it's able..

“would not recommended”

★★☆☆☆

written by Nikifor on 05/08/2011

I had the scooter for 2 years and 7 months. I looked after it, serviced on regular bases but once it reached 23000km mileage the engine broke down and to fix it I received a bill of £800. I decided to scrap the bike instead.

★★★★★

written by on 16/02/2010

have had zero probs with my bike can only think as mine is latest spec its much better but doesn't sound like the same bike as other reviews? not super quick but starts first time and does 90 mpg. I do clean my bike most weekends so it hasn't rusted like the others say? perhaps thats the reason. I have done 14025 km now and its just had normal servicing which was much cheaper than the italian scooter I replaced with the sum up I change my bikes every 12 to 18 months and on this experience will be choosing a Peugeot again. One final point I have had excellent service from my local dealer in worksop.

★☆☆☆☆

written by ianh01 on 29/11/2009

i brought a peugoet 125cc scooter last year, and to be honest i wished i hadnt. This bike hasnt been reliable for me and the amount of times ive had to take bake to the shop to be looked at for different reasons is shocking. You think when buying a new scooter you will only ever get limited faults,not with this model. Im very dissapointed. Ive completely lost confidence with this bike and would be ashamed to sell it to anyone else. I wouldnt recommend a purchase of this model, although i could have been unfortunate to have had a dodgy one.

“I bought the bike with 5,000 km on the clock, and two...”

★★★☆☆

written by on 21/10/2009

I bought the bike with 5,000 km on the clock, and two days (20km) later, the seat split and the welds on a mirror bracket broke. I waited for nearly eight weeks for the parts, and so far, all that has been delivered is the handlebar. I bought from a Yamaha dealer who went out of his way to help, but the Peugeot dealer's attitude stank - he didn't want to honour the warranty.

It seems reliable, is economical, rides without problem and will even do an indicated 60 (mph) with me onboard, and all this without drama. It is a good bike, betrayed by the Peugeot dealer who sold it originally and poor build quality in some areas. The engine is sound, everything else does as it should.

“I have owned the Two Peugeot Sum Ups for around 6...”

★★★★☆

written by on 15/09/2009

I have owned the Two Peugeot Sum Ups for around 6 months now & i find these scooters excellent value for money. The sum up ticks all the boxes for me and unlike some other reviews here i have had no problems at all with these scooters.
I would highly recommend the Peugeot Sum Up to anyone.
I have read other reviews saying thats its a cheap chinese made scooter. Well i disagree Logic tells you that cheap chinese parts would be hard to get take a look at Suzuki parts they are hard to get in the uk not a lot of mechanics can get these parts at trade prices why because they are imported parts.
I have had no problems ordering spare parts for the peogeot sum up at all i waited 36 hours max for the parts to be delivered.
The only reason i ordered spare parts is because i am a mechanic to trade. I have one sum up for me & one sum up for my son and it disappoints me to read people giving it bad reviews without fully going into detail with the specs of the machine.
May i add wherever you buy the sum up please ensure its from a Peugeot registered dealer because a peugeot registered dealer will have in fact peugeot registered mechanics to build the sum up for you from flat pack.

Many Thanks for reading my review

★★★☆☆

written by on 08/08/2009

I have a Peugeot Sum-Up 125 and I have to say that the others who posted here are, I think, unlucky. I have had no problems with mine and it has never let me down. Ride it to work in all winds and weathers and yes it is a cheap scooter and you get what you pay for, so don't expect Satelis type quality ride, but it does what it says. Top speed is 55mph comfortable, slightly more if you want to push it, and that's where it's perhaps not so inspiring. All in all though I am pleased with my buy.

“I have owned about 40 motorcycles and scooters since...”

★☆☆☆☆

written by malcsreview on 11/07/2009

I have owned about 40 motorcycles and scooters since 1966, but the Sum Up has been the worst value for money of any I have ever owned. I had it for 6 months and it was back at the dealers about half a dozen times. Only minor problems, such as broken weld on mirror mount, loud rattle from engine casing,kickstart mechanism faulty,blanking plug on fairing shot out when riding, replacement never obtained by dealer despite requesting numerous times.
Parts took several weeks to arrive from France. I counld not believe a main dealer could not source parts quicker, I lost confidence in the bike and felt that it would continue with faults developing, and as the dealer took several attempts to put some of them right it did not engender confidence. I found out that the bike was not made in France but in China. The mechanic (main dealer) told me that they did not know the were made in China when they decided to sell them. He added that they would not have took them on if they had known that. I would not have bought one if I'd known they were made in China. The mechanic added that they were'crap' when he was struggling with the repairs. That is not what he told me when I spoke to him prior to purchas to ask what they were like. I paid £1600 new and sold it through the dealer for £1000 with about 1200km on clock and 6 months old. I was delighted to get shut of it. I would not recommend this scooter to anyone

I found this review very helpful because...My son owns a Sum-up and Peugeot will not take responsibility for it not having worked correctly since about 6 weeks after it was bought . My son is disabled and they dont give a dam.

“I've had my Peugeot Sum-up now for little over five...”

★★☆☆☆

written by hellraiza15 on 15/01/2009

I've had my Peugeot Sum-up now for little over five months and all i can say is PROBLEMS PROBLEMS PROBLEMS.

I bought the scooter as a mode of transport across London for 1569 pounds but the components are breaking quicker than they can be repaired.

First prob happened the day i got it after only 13 miles when all the lights on the dashboard started flickering on & off, the second was the day after with only 70 miles on the clock the ignition coil died meaning i had to be recovered 2 hours from home.

Took it back to the garage which they rectified it but then three days later the voltage regulator blew meaning the bike had no electricity. Back to the garage again which it was repaired but then a minor wobbling from the front wheel gradually got worse & worse. This has been confirmed as a bent fitting where the brake disc screws onto the wheel and a part has been ordered and will be fitted for me free of charge...but should have been here in october.

Thinking no more could go wrong, the clutch has decided to play up meaning the thing shoots forward from low rev and stalls when you stop, if you're lucky it wont go past 20mph which is absolutely appaling. Alongside that the maximum revs have gradually been dropping from 7,500rpm when i first got it and 6,200rpm which is its max now.

Anyways rant over what does this bike have to offer. To be honest nothing much. It'll happily give you 55mph flat out which is poor for a 125 with a gentleman weighing only 9.5 stone and a light vehicle at only 120kg. It has underseat storage which is far too small for my size L helmet and looks like it won't even hold a medium. It delivers about 60mpg and has a 6 litre fuel tank which took me from London to Gloucestershire on a tank and a quarter and it sounds like a loud moan when its in use which only gets louder the more power you give it.

Both ignition and underseat locks feel stiff as hell and need alot of persuasion and patience just to get the key in, turning it is another story. Two of the three bolts holding the exhaust to the body have unscrewed themselves from the erratic vibration and fallen off and the aluminium heatshield and cap on the exhaust is nearly totally covered with rust.

I honestly am absolutely disgusted with this scooter, i've had bikes 15 years older for 300 quid which have lasted longer than this one. I've even written a letter to Peugeots UK office in Dorset and after six weeks, still no reply. My 100cc Honda lead before had 8,200 miles on the clock with not a single problem, that too was flat out most of the time and gave 55mph with 80mpg for 200 quid less.
