Beat inflation and congestion with Peugeot Scooters
UK customers can save £500 on the price of a new 125cc Vivacity scooter while stocks last. Peugeot has slashed the price of its popular 125cc Vivacity scooter by 24% in a move designed to attract more inflation-weary commuters onto two wheels. Sales of scooters in the UK rose by 16.7% this January, following an increase of 11.7% during 2011 (source www.mcia.co.uk), as motorists looked for more fuel-efficient alternatives to their cars in the face of spiralling petrol prices (a litre of diesel cost 10.5% more in December 2011 than in 2010 – source www.theaa.com).
This rising demand for scooters is expected to continue following recent announcements that rail fares will rise by an average of 5.9%, while parking charges at many stations will increase by up to 5%, forcing commuters to consider alternative transport options.
Research by the Office for National statistics shows that 3 out of 4 people work within 30 minutes from home and Peugeot has targeted this sector with a range of 50cc and 125cc scooters priced to appeal to riders on a budget, resulting in a 46% increase in UK sales.
Developed specifically for adult urban riders, the 125cc Vivacity is just 690mm wide (2 feet 3 inches) so it can filter through city traffic with ease and squeeze into the tightest parking spots. With generous 22-litre storage bay beneath the seat and an additional 13-litre compartment in the front there is plenty of carrying capacity and Peugeot thoughtfully included a 12v power output for charging accessories on the move.
Normally selling for £2099, the Vivacity 125 models in red and ivory are currently available for £1599, a saving of £500, while stocks last. Available through participating dealers and covered by a 24-month unlimited mileage manufacturer's warranty, visit peugeotscooters.co.uk or call 01202 823344 for details.
