The Peugeot Vivacity is a 50 cc (3.1 cu in) (all models), 100 cc (6.1 cu in) (Models 1+2) and 125 cc (7.6 cu in) (Model 3) scooter designed and produced by Peugeot Motorcycles. The Vivacity began production in 1998 and is still going today[when?] having changed design in 2008

Peugeot Motorcycles began producing the Vivacity 1+2 in 1998 and continued until 2008 when they redesigned the looks of the scooter. One of the most powerful 50cc standard scooters, in original specification, this version can reach 75 km/h (47 mph)*.[citation needed] Also this version came to compete with the Yamaha Bws 50cc. This version can reach 9000 rpm and has about 3.5 hp (2.6 kW).[citation needed] This model is one of the biggest successes from Peugeot because of its design and economical and powerful motor.
