Scooter News Satelis Compressor The Satelis Compressor is the first maxi scooter on the market equipped with a supercharger, displaying a brilliant use of technology and innovation.

Its supercharged engine can deliver 14.7kW of power and 16Nm (60% more than a standard 2-valved 125cc engine) of torque, giving the scooter 250cc class performance.
The engine is fed fuel via Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) and the exhaust is filtered through a catalyst giving the Satelis a claimed 60% reduction in emissions and bringing it inline with Euro 3 emission standards.
The air, after it is supercharged, is fed through an inter-cooler before it enters the engine. This cools the air down to optimize its efficiency and increase the performance from the 125cc engine.
To light up the path ahead, the Satelis uses a H7 headlight which gives 30% more light than its previous headlight configurations.
The front of the scooter including the wind shield were extensively tested in a wind tunnel environment to ensure that the Satelis was as efficient as possible in oncoming winds while still providing the rider with maximum protection from the elements.
Like all Peugeot scooters, the build quality is of the highest standard, with attention to detail being the key to give the owner, quality that they expect from the Peugeot brand.
The Satelis Executive comes standard with ABS and a 3 in 1 linked braking system giving the rider the best possible chance in any weather situation.
We wont be seeing the Satelis Compressor on Australian shores, though if we did , it would give something to the riders that are looking for that special and unique scooter.
