Another scooter for 2010 is the new Peugeot Kisbee 50, with four-stroke engine and low-wheel format. It’s designed as a scooter with low fuel consumption, for general city riding, but with acceptable performance.
It has 3.67 hp on the 50 cc engine, and with the Kisbee weighing just 85 kg, this is snappy enough for urban traffic conditions and the daily commute. The seat is wide and comfortable, and the space underneath can house a full face helmet. The flat foot area makes for further storage space for additional baggage.
The wheels measure 12-inches, and the Kisbee has a telescopic fork at the front and simple, single-shock absorber at the rear. The brakes have a single front disc measuring 170 mm and a rear drum brake. Colours include black, blue, white and orange (I’m very taken with the latter) you certainly won’t find yourself riding around in the dark with the prominent front headlights.
The seat is 780 mm off the ground, looking to find middle ground for taller and shorter riders without having to include a lower seat as an option. The ignition is electric but there is an additional kick starter in case of emergency, which is a nice touch for a four-stroke scooter.

10 Sep 2010 - 22:44 - #1I bought a brand new KisBee a week ago on 04/09/10 at the shop in Aix en Provence. I am an MBA student at IAE University in Puyricard, and do not speak French as of yet, just arrived to France 2 3 weeks ago.
From the very first day of KisBee ownership it was a complete fiasco. Scooter was cutting off while i was driving. On the third day it cut off, and never restarted. I had to push it back and pulled my back muscles. Well, the shop was closed, when it reopened on Tuesday, they did not bother to take care of my scooter despite on all the e-mails I sent them. It’s been a week now, finally the Peugeot contacted the shop after I complained, and said that they are very sorry and replacing the scooter. Meanwhile, the owner of the shop replaced the batteries on this one, and assured me that it will work fine… it cut off after 7 miles driving it. The peugeot said that I am not lucky. and they are sorry. The scooter is defective! Sorry is not enough. I want compensation for wasted time, missed days at school, my back that needs medical attention! And as of today, noone contacted me from Peugeot Motorcycle. I only was forwarded their “sorry”.

28 Sep 2010 - 12:40 - #2oh no, you poor thing, I am looking at the new kisbee 50 at the moment, thinking of buying one, I live in Spain, and my Spanish is not good, which when you get these type of problems you have had, is not easy then to talk to the sellers is it.. !! I did buy a used but nearly new piaggio zip 50, had it for 2 days and couldnt legally buy it from the private seller as he had lost his NIE number certificate so couldnt transfer it to me.. the piaggio was only 9 months old, and only done 1000 kilometers, but……… beware everyone interested in the Piaggio Zip 50 as I also noticed that the paint on the bike (under seat area) above the exhaust was all bubbling off underneath and started on the main part, from the exhaust heat rising up, it wasnt looking very good, and only done 1000 km, how would it look after 3,000km’s I asked myself ? you’d think buying a scooter would be one of the easiest things to do wouldnt you, they are not that complicated of a machine or are they !! I do hope you get sorted, be interested to know how you get on, as cannot find any reveiews on this kisbee 50 !! Good Luck !!
