Bike test: PIAGGIO MP3 LT

motorstelevision asked:


It’s amazing that it has taken this long for someone to think of it…The Piaggio MP3 LT is a scooter that you can ride with just a normal (car) driving license. How? Why? You might well ask…well, it’s a three-wheeled scooter.

    It doesn’t have a headlight out; lots of sportbikes nowadays have a single light for low beam and a single light for high beam.

    When moving slowly you can flick a switch which locks the front wheels so you don’t topple over. It’s apparently useful when coming to a stop at lights, give way, stop signs etc but I’ve heard it takes some getting used to as the atural reaction is to put your foot down when coming to a stop. When you move off the system automatically disengages. I’ve been doing some research as I’m considering getting one.

    It’s not a fault with the design. Any motorbike, scooter with twin headlamps only have one on when it’s on dip but both come on when full beam is used. I used to have a Yamaha Fazer 600 which did the same. When there’s only a single headlamp both lighting elements are in the same headlamp, rather like a car.

    i have seen a couple of these on the road and wonder if its a common problem with the headlights? this test one has one out and so have the ones i have seen on the road!

    Hey Great! I love this thing! I’ve had it for about 3 weeks now. The MP3500 model. Handles like a dream. Fun as all get out. I stole it from the sidewalk in front of a restaurant. When I got it started, the owner saw me and I had to Really beat this person Viciously in the Face in order to get away.
    Boy, I hope that lady will be alright.

    I understand what is being said here but I’d like to know where the regulations are. I am having to sell my beloved 400cc for which I did take my bike test. I am hoping to sell it with the note that a car licence is enough. Can you help?

  18. bridgecraft47 says:

    headlight out. pull that dumb fucking thing over.

    You didn’t pay attention to the video: these are the new Piaggio MP3 LLLLLLTTTTTTT wich came with 250cc and 400cc versions. Their front axis it’s wider than the previous versions witch, in legal terms, allows people to drive them with a car driving licence (at least in most Europe), as the voice over the video explains.

    I’m gonna check my 2 lottery tickets.If either of them came out in my favor,I’ll go to the nearest (BMW?)Vespa dealership,and find out if I can take a test ride on any model of Piaggio MP3.
