    Mahindra Two-Wheelers has recently bought 51 percent stake in Peugeot Scooters, and has also invested Rs 114 crore to finance Peugeot, through their strategic partnership. It certainly looks like things are moving along as Mahindra has brought six scooters from Peugeot’s international scooter portfolio to its headquarters in Mumbai. However, these scooters are not confirmed for sale in the Indian market yet, and Mahindra is remaining tight lipped about the project at the moment.

    Out of the range seen here, only a few scooters look suitable for our Indian mass market. However, only time will tell if Mahindra will actually bring them here or will continue to market them abroad. In which case, Mahindra may produce the scooters here and export them to foreign markets.

    Viren Popli, Chief of Operations, Mahindra Two-Wheelers said, “At this time, we are not making any comment on the way forward plans as we are still in consolidation phase”. The company mentions their intent to reveal further information only in March 2015.

    Let’s take a peek at the scooters spotted here.  

    Satelis 2 – 300i – The sleek looking Satelis 2 is surely styled to suit a more mature audience. Its tall transparent visor will come handy on long journeys and so will the large stepped saddle. The scooter is equipped with a 278cc, four-stroke, liquid-cooled engine developing 21bhp of power. The Satelis comes with telescopic front suspension and dual shocks at rear. Disc brakes come standard up front and back.
