S57 later got a premium version, the S57C, with more refined details and increased ride comfort.
The S57 became one of the most popular scooters in France and contributed to Peugeot's reputation as an innovative and reliable brand.
Peugeot scooters from the 1950s are iconic vehicles today, reflecting an era when scooters offered affordable freedom.
