Very good point. A friend of mine recently upgraded to a better wood lathe.
He complained that the new lathe lacked power--turned out that it was
quieter.

I rode it once on a 15 miler from my house to the lake and it was
awful. Just sluggish and I was truly struggling.

In addition to what the others have said regarding hubs, note that
perception can really fool you. Are both bikes equipped with
speedometers or are you otherwise carefully tracking your time vs
distance?

Note OP's commute times. 30 minutes on hybrid vs 48 minutes on Peugeot.
That seems pretty empirical to me. I'd go with hub/bb/brake diagnosis
first.
