EXCLUSIVE: Peugeot Kisbee Electric Scooter Spotted Testing In India

Quick Highlights

• Peugeot Kisbee electric scooter is made in India

• It’s expected to make its debut at the Paris Motor Show, 2024

• It won’t be a high-speed scooter

This is not the first time Peugeot’s scooters have been spotted in India and this time around what we have is the electric version of the Peugeot Kisbee scooter. The latter is already on sale internationally. 

This electric Kisbee has a hub-mounted electric motor, the specs of which are unknown as of now. Though, we can expect its performance to be close to the ICE Kisbee which makes 3.53PS and has a top-speed of 45kmph. The battery is mounted under the seat, and will eat into the underseat storage space. 

The e-scooter has telescopic fork and twin shocks, suspending 12-inch wheels. Braking is handled by a disc brake at the front and drum at the back, which will be most likely 130mm and 110mm, respectively, like the ICE Kisbee. It will also have single-channel ABS. 

The e-scooter in the photos has proper European styling, slightly tweaked from the ICE Kisbee. It has sharp lines on the side panels, a chunky-looking handlebar cowl, and a huge seat. 

There's a Peugeot logo in the monochrome instrument cluster, which most likely won’t have any smartphone connectivity. Under the display is a tell-tale indicator bar. The seat is the same as the ICE Kisbee with a slight contour that makes it spacious for the rider, while leaving little room for the pillion. The e-Kisbee will sport LED lights, as compared to halogen ones on the current ICE variant.

The Peugeot e-Kisbee is expected to make its debut at the Paris Motor Show in October 2024. Mahindra & Mahindra co-owns Peugeot Motocycles and this e-scooter is most likely manufactured at Mahindra’s EV two-wheeler plant outside of Pune. That said, it’s highly unlikely that this e-scoot will be launched in India anytime soon.
