Positioned in Peugeot's scooter motorcycle lineup, the 2012 Peugeot Vivacity 3 relies on a 49.1 cc (3 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, two-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 4.8 HP (3.5 kW) at 7,100 rpm while maximum torque reaches 4.7 Nm (3.5 lb-ft) at 7,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a automatic gearbox and shaft drive (cardan) final drive. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 39.9 x 39.8 mm (1.6 x 1.6 inches).
On the scales, the Vivacity 3 measures 95 kg (209 lbs) dry. Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 786 mm (30.9 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,338 mm (52.7 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 8.5-liter (2.2 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
