    I thought they were 4t?
    The T means takt in Norwegian and I think German. Not sure why you Brits use it.

    Look under your seat,if you see a separate screw cap that says OIL it's a 2 stroke.
    Good reference material for you - Haynes manual #3920 Peugeot (1996-2008).

    Yeah on 2nd thoughts it might actually be 4t but as Mr T says the separate oil cap is a dead giveaway.

    You learn something new everyday. I always wondered what the T meant but never bothered finding out. In Chinese 2t means ting ting and 4t means thump thump, I read on some forum ages ago. But when I mentioned this to the Chinese chef in a local takeaway who loves his scooters as much as his meat cleavers, he looked at me blankly and walked off. He was holding a meat cleaver at the time so I didn't bother pursuing the conversation. Very rude man I thought, but in my experience a lot of chefs are wherever they come from.

    T means Tempo in Italian, the beat of the engine. Has the scoot got a dipstick next to the flywheel cowling ?
