This motorcycle is to be auctioned at The Autumn Stafford Sale - The Classic Motorcycle Mechanics Show
Three-wheeled 'twist-'n-go' scooters have been gaining in popularity in recent years, particularly in Continental Europe where Piaggio's MP3 range is the market leader. Peugeot's first effort in the class was the 400cc Metropolis, which the French manufacturer deliberately pitched between Piaggio's 300cc and 500cc models. Like the Piaggios, the Metropolis' tilting front wheels are set wide enough apart for it to be classed as a tricycle, meaning some owners could ride them on a car licence (others require an A2). The front wheels can be locked manually as you come to a halt, meaning there's no need to put your feet down. Brakes are linked and can be operated by either the handlebar lever or foot pedal. As its name suggests, the Metropolis was designed primarily for use in cities and with a degree of user-friendliness and convenience guaranteed to appeal to car drivers, a key market. Purchased by Tony East (its second owner) in 2018 for 4, 100, this Metropolis has covered fewer than 5, 000 miles from new. The machine comes with the purchase receipt; instruction manuals (x2); a part V5C (New Keeper supplement missing) and two MoTs (most recent expired March 2019). Two keys present.
