Positioned in Peugeot's scooter motorcycle lineup, the 2006 Peugeot Satelis 500 relies on a 491 cc (30 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 38.9 HP (28.4 kW), transferring power to the rear wheel through a automatic gearbox and belt final drive. With a specific output of 79.2 HP per liter, the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.
Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 784 mm (30.9 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,520 mm (59.8 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 13-liter (3.4 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
