The Peugeot Speedfight 4 50 Sportline is yet another sporty-looking moped. It’s got a sharp edge to its style, yet doesn’t feel too aggressive for daily popping around town. It’s powered by a four-stroke engine delivering just under 3hp, paired with modern features like electronic fuel injection and a side‑mounted USB socket for charging your phone on the go.

The ride feels solid and comfortable, thanks to its front hydraulic telescopic forks, rear shock absorber, and 13-inch wheels that handle city roads well. Braking is handled by a front disc and rear drum setup, offering reliable and steady stopping power, not flashy, but it gets the job done. As for the price, the Speedfight 4 Sportline comes in at around £2,899, putting it in the slightly more premium range for a 50cc; however, with the styling, it’s not too bad.

Now for our top three, and in third place, we have the Vespa Primavera 50, bringing the right kind of charm. Under its retro-inspired looks, it's built on a steel frame that gives the ride a solid feel, yet it remains nimble enough for getting through crowded streets.

 The front suspension is a single-arm hydraulic setup, backed by a rear monoshock; it feels steady on city roads. Braking is handled by a front 200 mm disc and rear drum, nothing too crazy, but smooth and dependable when you need to slow down quickly. 

Just a heads up though, you'll be paying a very premium price tag of £3,855, making it the most expensive on the list so far, so you’ll need to weigh up how much you favour those Vespa good looks.
