OMG !! if you;d have put a wanted ad on here you could have come just across Bristol and got a pair, I have some that I don't use nowGodspeed wrote: ↑Sat May 29, 2021 6:55 pm I decided to cobble givi wingrack sides onto my Innova, but then needed a set of larger panniers. Found a cheap set in Brixham so today took a 222 mile round trip to pick them up.
Must remember not to try tight filtering with them on

Re: Go Big and Ride Small
We went for our first visit to Limoges in months today. Nice to see the coffee bars busy - but everyone outdoors and fairly well distanced. Masks being worn even in the street. A couple of Police Nationale flics rolled up on these 3-wheel scoot things.
OK, so they're not exactly the California Highway Patrol. But 'FRITES' perhaps?

Re: Go Big and Ride Small
I wonder what sized engine they have in them?

Dunno. They have Peugeot badges on them. I was so tempted to entitle this post 'Go Pig and Ride Small' - but I wouldn't do a thing like that.

Re: Go Big and Ride Small
It looks like they are called the Peugeot Metropolis.
400cc, 4-stroke single. 35 bhp.
All sounds reasonable for a scooter, but then you read that it weighs 256 kgs. Yep, not a typo. Somehow they've managed to make it weigh a quarter of a tonne! WTF! Has it got lead-lined tyres or something?
So I don't suppose the getaway scrotes of Limoges have all that much to worry about.... I'd love a go though. Can it be crashed on a wet diesely roundabout? It'd be fun to try.
