New Peugeot Pulsion 125

[Ralph]

Bet it will be a good scoot and don't care what they call it but not sure about the look of the front end.

That Pulsion is going to be quick for a 125. More horsepower than the new Forza, similar torque but a tad heavier.

Well, similar to current Peugueot Citystar etc. Of course, 15bhp is the max for licencing reasons.

Mybubu? I actually had to google this to find out if it really existed. Who came up with that one? Unless it means something in Chinese.

Thank you for confirming that it wasn't just my failing memory going weird!! It was a Taiwan only model - I think the idea was that it was supposed to appeal to young women and be a sort of baby substitute. Now that does sound weird.....

I've heard of cats and dogs being baby substitutes but not scooters!

Wasn't Bubu (or Booboo) a bear in an old children's cartoon?

I recollect a bear called BoBo from a cartoon, but can't remember which one. Whether there's any connection to Taiwanese culture I've no idea!
Talking of ludicrous scooter names, wasn't there a Peugeot Tweet at some point???

Yogi Bear Boo Boo and Mr Ranger.

Amazing....actually I thought 'Retrosa' didn't sound too bad until I said it a couple of times then thought it sounded rubbish! What is a NUUK????

What is a NUUK????

[MrGrumpy]

Yes, that's a Reiju Nuuk, but I was wondering who or what it was named after. I see that its the largest settlement on Greenland - that well known capital of scootering and two wheel design.....one presumes that studded tyres must be an option on this Rieju!
