Positioned in Peugeot's scooter motorcycle lineup, the 2012 Peugeot Speedfight 3 Darkside relies on a 49.1 cc (3 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, two-stroke powerplant.
On the scales, the Speedfight 3 Darkside measures 100 kg (220 lbs) dry. Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 800 mm (31.5 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance. The 8-liter (2.1 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
