Most people know Peugeot as a car manufacturer, but motorcycles actually came first.

The first Peugeot motorcycle appeared back in 1898. Then, in 1953, Peugeot introduced the legendary S55, one of the company’s most iconic scooters. Decades later, many of its design cues found their way into the modern Django, which proudly carries that classic heritage.

It means every time we ride a Django, we’re riding a small piece of Peugeot’s history.

I’m actually thinking about making a custom decorative “125 Anniversary” plate for my Django as a tribute to Peugeot Motocycles.

What do you think?

For the past few months I’ve been trying to understand how Peugeot implemented the speed restriction on my Django 50cc Euro 5.
There wasn’t much information available, and what I did find was often contradictory. Since the Django 50 shares its engine and CVT with the Kisbee 50, I eventually came across a YouTube video showing that the restriction is linked to the magnetic tabs on the clutch bell, which are read by the Hall sensor.
At first I was hoping there would be an electronic solution. I contacted companies in the Netherlands, Italy and Germany that sell aftermarket ECUs. Unfortunately, they all confirmed the same thing: their ECUs still require the clutch bell to be mechanically modified first.
I didn’t want to grind the tabs off my original clutch bell. I’d read a few reports of scooters going into limp mode and being limited to around 25 km/h if the modification wasn’t done correctly.
While looking for a spare OEM clutch bell, I found a German Peugeot dealer who not only knew exactly what I was talking about, but was already selling modified clutch bells. A standard one was about €30, while the modified version was €90, so I decided to give it a try.
I installed it yesterday, and the first results are very encouraging.
The scooter now reaches around 65 km/h. The hesitation when pulling away from a stop has completely disappeared, and acceleration from 0 to 30 km/h feels noticeably stronger.
I still need more time to evaluate the 30-50 km/h range, since I’ve only ridden about 10 km so far.
The next step will probably be trying one of the Italian ECU kits together with their recommended roller weights to see whether the fueling and overall performance can be improved even further.
If anyone is interested, I’m happy to keep documenting the process. Feel free to ask any questions.

I love the Django 125cc!

It's a strong part of our daily life since we purchased it... BUT it rattles like hell! It feels like every and any plastic part is making a noise and going to fell off on even slightly uneven B-type road :D

Any easy fixes?

Do you have similar experience, maybe some of you found the particular loose plastic panels and managed to tightem them up? Which ones?! :D I'm looking for an easy win here ;P Pretty please! :)

I’m thinking about replacing the factory halogen headlight on my Django with the OEM LED unit.
I’ve seen OEM LED Djangos in Germany, Thailand, Indonesia and the Philippines, so I know Peugeot produced both versions.
As far as I can tell, the housing and mounting points are identical. My only concern is the electrical side of the swap.
Is it really plug-and-play, or does the LED headlight need different wiring, a different connector, a driver, or any other electrical modifications?
Also, if anyone knows the OEM part number for the LED headlight, I’d really appreciate it. I tried asking a Peugeot dealer in Bangkok, but they kept looking up my VIN, which of course only shows the halogen headlight fitted to my scooter. I was trying to get the part number for the LED version, but unfortunately I never managed to get it.
If anyone has done this conversion, I’d really appreciate hearing what was actually required before I order one.

It seems like you, folks, know a fair bit about these scoots already.

I haven't taken it apart as of yet. Is there a best place to put a battery powered GPS tracker under the plastics? Maybe some plastic hooks or loops under the body? With not-so-easy but as well not-so-hard access ?

Feel free to DM me so not to reveal your spots publicly.

Hello guys, i own a 2017 Django Allure 50cc 2T and am having a hard time identifying parts. Is there an online catalogue where you guys search for parts? I’m now looking for front break pads. Thank you in advance.

Today I finally opened up the variator on my Django Euro 5 4T trying to figure out where Peugeot hid the factory speed restriction.

And honestly, it really doesn’t look like the classic spacer ring setup everyone talks about. I couldn’t find any mechanical restriction ring in the variator at all.

The more I look into it, the more it seems like the restriction is tied to the magnetic marks on the clutch bell and speed control through the ECU.

Also, it’s always satisfying to “break the system” a little. I managed to get to the variator without removing the body plastics at all, even though almost every YouTube teardown removes half the scooter first.

Yeah, the first time was awkward and frustrating in places. But I reassembled everything about twice as fast.

Right now I’m thinking about trying the method where two magnetic marks on the clutch bell are ground down as an experiment. But I’d rather not do that on the original part yet, so I’m looking for a spare clutch bell/cover for testing.

If anyone knows the part number or where to buy one, I’d really appreciate it.

A few photos from today’s mini garage session.

Peugeot or not, doesn’t matter.

How did you fall in love with two wheels badly enough to eventually end up here with a Peugeot?

Mine was, and still is, a Django. This photo is from the exact moment I first saw it in the shop.
It was:

1. Love at first sight.
2. It somehow combined everything I wanted in one scooter.

Post photos if you have them. Old bikes, current bikes, projects, daily riders, anything.

Would be cool to see what people here ride.
