Algupära

Cycles Peugeot is the oldest French bicycle brand, founded in 1882 in the Montbeliard region when Armand Peugeot hand-built a penny-farthing called 'Le Grand Bi'. The company grew out of the Peugeot family's 19th-century steelworks, and its lion emblem, drawn in 1858 by engraver Justin Blazer, still rides on every frame. Peugeot went on to become the most successful factory team in Tour de France history with a record ten victories, and its yellow-and-white checkerboard racing bikes are icons of 20th-century cycling. Today the bicycle business operates under Cycleurope, a subsidiary of Sweden's Grimaldi Industri, which uses the heritage lion to sell modern, mainstream European bikes. The eCity range is the everyday urban face of that legacy: not a race machine, but an approachable step-through commuter that carries a famous name into the daily grind of the city.

Verdikt

+Tugevused

Comfortable, upright step-through geometry with full commuter kit (rack, mudguards, lights) as standard
Low-maintenance options: Shimano Nexus hub gearing that shifts while stopped, ideal for stop-start city traffic
Recognisable heritage brand at approachable prices, with a clear good/better/best ladder (eC03 to eC01)

−Nõrkused

Modest 300-316Wh batteries give limited real-world range (~30-50 km), weak for hilly or long commutes
Entry eC03 uses a basic rear hub motor and V-brakes, noticeably behind the Bosch mid-drive eC01/eC02
Relatively heavy (~24-25 kg) with no throttle and a strict 25 km/h assist cut-off

Põlvkonnad

eC03 (entry platform)
- Simplest, cheapest tier. Hub motor is quieter but less punchy on climbs; rim brakes fade in wet.
Pidurid
V-brakes
eC02 / eC01 (Bosch platform)
- Mid-drive gives better hill response and balance; hydraulic discs and lighter alloy frame. eC01 is the lightest/best-equipped, offered in Nexus 7 hub (N7) or 9-speed derailleur (D9).
Pidurid
Shimano hydraulic disc
