Peugeot Bikes

What to Know Before Purchasing a Peugeot Bike

Peugeot is a manufacturer of bikes that began its business in France as a water mill factory. Throughout its production history, many different types of models and variations of Peugeot bikes were created. Some of these are no longer in production, but vintage Peugeot bikes or limited models can be found on eBay.

What are the wheel sizes for Peugeot bicycles for sale on eBay?

Peugeot bikes' frame sizes correspond to different wheel sizes. Adult's and children's Peugeot bikes are offered on eBay, and the primary distinction lays in the size. The sizes of the wheels can be found in the description. They range from 30 centimetres to 71 centimetres. There is also the 650B wheel variation that is slightly larger than the 66-centimetre tire. This type of tire is suited for mountain bikes and gives a bulkier feeling to the bike. The other variation of the tires, the 700C, is a wheel that is the same size but is more suitable for a road bike. It does well when more responsiveness is needed on surfaces like very fine roads and gravel.

What are the different models of the Peugeot bike?

There are a couple of Peugeot bicycle models that were produced throughout Peugeot's time on the market. These include:

• City Bike: These include models that are still in production. They include the Ville series for men and the Ville unisex version.
• Electric Bikes: Electric and hybrid bikes are designed to be standardly cycled on the road but also give you the option of electrically driven wheels whenever you need to speed up your cycling, go uphill, or are tired from cycling and want to rest without stopping your journey.
• Folding Bikes: Folding bikes can be folded to take up less than half the space that a regular bike will. This is a good choice for those that sporadically cycle while also travelling in a car.
• Mountain Bikes: Their frame is created to endure the blows that they can take on a rough road. They are usually made with a stronger frame and one that can absorb shocks from the road.
• Road Bikes: Many of Peugeot's road bikes are not in production currently and are instead available as vintage or classic bikes for sale.
• Tandem Bikes: Tandem bikes are created with two seats for two people to cycle one behind the other. These are part of the vintage and classic bike series.
• Children's Bikes: These bikes are made with a smaller frame to accommodate children.

What types of frames do Peugeot bicycles have?

The Peugeot racing bike from the 1980s, as well as most other Peugeot bike variations, can come with a steel or an aluminium frame. Steel frames are most often used for mountain bikes. You should go for a steel frame if you are someone that travels on very rough roads or risks hitting the frame often. Aluminium frames are considerably lighter than steel ones and are good for city bikes where the frame needs to be constantly picked up and adjusted to the street conditions.
