Piaggio MP3 Scooter

Piaggio MP3

The Piaggio MP3 is a 3 wheeled scooter that leans like a motorcycle. This forward-thinking idea involves extra parts that require extra maintenance, yet decreases the entry level skill of balancing a scooter. With double the tire surface contact on the front, it also allows for much higher performance.

There’s also a convenience factor. you don’t have to consider where your kickstand is going to land. The scooter holds itself up! This makes load a passenger easy, easier scooter maintenance, and less leg work for those that may have slight disabilities.

The cost is around $9000. Smaller CC models(250cc and 400cc) of the Piaggiao MP3 cost less. Motorcycle licensing will be required in most areas.

Will a Piaggio MP3 scooter save you money? That depends on many variables. As a sole source of transportation, most likely, but as a second vehicle, probably not. It’s the maintenance and insurance costs for the scooter that stop the savings you get in fuel costs.

The storage capacity is much larger than it appears. Errands like running for milk and bread are no problem. There are accessories, like scooter saddlebags, that will work well too.

As with any vehicle, you will need training to be safe on an MP3. It is easier to ride than a motorcycle, but the risks for untrained riders are still significant.
