Peugeot set foot in "bicycle industry" from 1882. At that time, Peugeot made the first bicycle. The front wheel is big and the rear wheel is small. Cyclists pedal the front wheels directly, and there is no transmission mechanism. It was not until 1886 that chain-driven Peugeot bicycles began mass production.

At this time, the head of Peugeot was armand Peugeot, the founder of Peugeot. He was very interested in cars and visited the car inventor gottlieb daimler. Armand peugeot predicted that the automobile industry would have great development and unlimited potential, and decided to lead Peugeot into the automobile industry.

1889 is a historic year for Peugeot, and the first car named after Peugeot came out. Armand Peugeot cooperated with Leon Serpollet Park Jung Su, a famous expert in steam dynamics, to build a three-wheeled steam-powered car named "Serpault Park Jung Su-Peugeot", which was exhibited at the Paris World Expo in 1889 to celebrate the French Revolution100th anniversary. Peugeot had 1 100 workers at that time.
