Peugeot launches the PM-03, the motorcycle that combines French tradition with cutting-edge technology!
A Peugeot , renowned French automobile manufacturer, returns to the motorcycle scene with the recent launch of the PM-03 motorcycle. This move marks a significant return for Peugeot Motocycles, which had focused its efforts exclusively on scooters in recent decades.
A historic return for Peugeot
Since your first model motorcycle in 1898, Peugeot built a solid reputation in the European automotive market.
However, after the sale of its motorcycle arm to the Indian group Mahindra in 2020, the brand found itself away from the two-wheel segment for almost 70 years.

- Looking for a good and economical used car? The Citroën C3 with a 1.6 engine, 120 hp, automatic transmission and capable of doing 12,4 km/L on the highway, is the right model for you!
This strategic change has allowed Peugeot Motocycles to focus exclusively on developing scooters until now.
In 2022, Peugeot Motocycles announced its return with the launch of the PM-01 125, followed by the larger displacement model, the PM-03.
Initially promoted as PM-01 300, the bike was renamed PM-03 and is now available for purchase on the brand's official website in France
The PM-03 maintains the distinctive style of the PM-01, characterized by its naked roadster design, striking headlight and details inspired by Peugeot's automotive aesthetics.
Technical specifications of the bike
Equipped with a 292,4 cm³ single-cylinder engine supplied by Qianjiang Motorcycle, the PM-03 offers a power of 29 hp and torque of 2,5 kgfm.
This bike also features premium features like ABS brakes on both wheels, 17-inch wheels, TFT digital dashboard and LED lighting in the headlight and taillight.
The starting price of 4.399 euros positions the PM-03 as a competitive option in the European mid-displacement market.
Although the Indian group Mahindra maintains a stake in Peugeot Motocycles, the operational management of the brand has been transferred to the German holding company Mutares.
This strategic change aims to strengthen Peugeot Motocycles' presence in markets beyond Europe.
With global expansion plans, Mutares intends to launch new business such as the PM-02 and PM-05 to compete with other world-renowned brands such as Royal Enfield, Yamaha, BMW and Bajaj.
Global brand expansion
With the recent change of control to Mutares, Peugeot Motocycles is strategically positioned to expand its global presence.
The company plans to launch the PM-02 and PM-05, expanding its portfolio to compete directly with established brands in international markets.
This expansion aims to not only increase Peugeot's market share, but also strengthen its position against competitors such as Royal Enfield, known for its strong presence in India and other emerging markets.
The launch of the PM-03 not only marks a return to motorcycle production, but also has a significant economic impact.
Priced competitively at 4.399 euros in France, the PM-03 could appeal to both beginner motorcyclists and experienced enthusiasts looking for an affordable mid-displacement model without compromising performance and quality.
This strategy not only strengthens Peugeot's offering in the two-wheel segment, but also contributes to the diversification of its automotive product portfolio.
In addition to offering performance and style, Peugeot Motocycles is committed to innovation and sustainability.
The PM-03 incorporates advanced technologies such as the TFT digital dashboard and LED lighting, which not only improve the driving experience but also reduce energy consumption.
This commitment to sustainability reflects the brand's vision to create products that not only meet customer needs, but also respect the environment.
These initiatives position Peugeot Motocycles as an emerging player in the global motorcycle market, combining tradition with innovation to offer high quality and efficient products.
What to expect for Peugeot's future in the motorcycle sector?
Peugeot's return to the motorcycle market represents not only an expansion of its product portfolio, but also a strategy to diversify its global presence.
With PM-03, the brand aims to attract a new generation of European motorcyclists who value both performance and innovative design.
The next steps include consolidating Peugeot Motocycles' presence in emerging markets, as well as strengthening its technology offering.
