T
he original Speedfight was superseded
by the Speedfight 2 in 2000, most
noticeable by its sharper body styling
with V-shaped air intake grille in the front
panel with asymmetric headlights above.
Technical improvements were also made to
the steering, suspension and instrumentation.
All models use a two-stroke engine and are
either air- or liquid-cooled. Special editions
included the Prost model, the multi-coloured X-
Team, the X-Race, and the WRC 206 to
commemorate Peugeot's success in the World
Rally Championship. Reflecting the customising
trend amongst scooter owners, the Furious
model features exposed motorcycle-style
handlebars with a mini all-electronic instrument
cluster, carbon fibre-look mirrors and a piggy-
back competition style exhaust system.
Meanwhile, the model's sporting aspirations are
maintained by sharp styling accentuated by a
variety of twotolour paint options.
The Trekker superseded the Squab model
in 1997 and was aimed at the adventure
scooter market, being a machine suitable for
road and gentle off-road use. It had the
rugged looks of an off-road machine, with
knobbly tyres on certain models. All Trekker
models use an air-cooled two-stroke engine.
S
pecial versions of the Trekker are the
Streetboard, Urban Black, Metal-X,
Street Zone and WRC 206, broadening
the models appeal with a variety of styling
options and colour schemes.
The Vivacity was introduced to the range in
1999 in 50 and 100 cc sizes, and provided a
softer less radical styling to the Speedfight. The
Vivacity range was supplemented by the
Sportline model in 2000 which featured
electronic
instrumentation
and
restyled
graphics. Special editions of the Vivacity
include the VS/X and X-Race. The Vivacity
Compact was introduced in 2003

About this Manual
The aim of this manual is to help you get the
best value from your scooter. It can do so in
several ways. It can help you decide what work
must be done, even if you choose to have it
done by a dealer; it provides information and
procedures for routine maintenance and
servicing; and it offers diagnostic and repair
procedures to follow when trouble occurs.
We hope you use the manual to tackle the
work yourself. For many simpler jobs, doing it
yourself may be quicker than arranging an
appointment to get the scooter into a dealer
and making the trips to leave it and pick it up.
More importantly, a lot of money can be
saved by avoiding the expense the shop must
pass on to you to cover its labour and
overhead costs. An added benefit is the sense
of satisfaction and accomplishment that you
feel after doing the job yourself.
References to the left or right side of the
scooter assume you are sitting on the seat,
facing forward.
