It won't drop on slippery surfaces, it protects you from the rain, and it looks like a funny dog. Three plusses.
It looks like a LEGO villain motorcycle, i love it
I live in Portugal and I brought one. First on Algarve. I was impressed by the press bikes on the Tour de France.
Plus points. On local roads with gravel on every junction and slippery cobbled streets, it gives security with ABS. Goes pretty well too. Am getting the equilivent of 65 mpg. Big storage under the seat.
Down sides. Bit slow to turn in after a two wheeler. Brakes a bit wooden. I am 182cm tall. Short riders may have a job getting a foot down. Screen a bit low for me (Tall screen option, I think. Piaggio only at this time). Had issue getting insurance as it's so new here. It's expensive,
I love it tho
Awesome review! Thank you so much!!!
Brilliant review as always
Excellent review, not for everyone but solid review and pro's versus con's. I think that people who will buy this are car drivers fed up with queuing, car parking fees and the cost of fuel, and scooter commuters who may have a 50 cc or 125 on a provisional but have a car licence.
That's precisely why I bought mine !
@@colinclarke4285how is it?
Heading to the French Riviera from.aberdeen Scotland on my new mp3 500 this year 😎👍
Would love to hear how you get on.I am thinking of buying one and taking it from Ireland to Spain and Portugal
The thing I’ve learned is these are best owned by experienced riders with better than average home shops because you’ll be on your own a lot for diagnostic and repairs. I build my own quite often as a hobby so im prepared for that but many are not and have difficulties
Well done Sir. Cheers!
Can't imagine what it feels like to ride something like this with two wheels up front, must take a bit of getting use to 😊
P lol l
I drove 2 wheel scooters for 10+ years and this year I got Piaggio MP3 300. It took me around 100km to get used to it.
They are a bit front heavy and because of the smaller front wheels it's a little hard on the ride but they are not a lot different than a two wheeler
I have a 2010 that I bought not too long ago with only 3000 miles on it! I love it…I wish they didn’t stop importing them into the states.
I owned the older 2009 MP3 500 and loved it...thinking I might pull the trigger on this updated version with all the electronic goodies! On an outside topic, can I ask what MC JEANS you are wearing? Thanks!
Have they cured the steering bearing notch issue ?...had to have mine done twice since 2015
It's perhaps the perfect commuting tool. Bikers need to get over the speed thing. That's not what this trike is about. It's plenty fast enough and will beat most away from the lights. After that it'll easily keep pace with traffic. It'll certainly be faster than my 1.6 hatchback. It looks comfortable, it has carrying capacity and it's a damn sight safer than two wheelers. If I had a straight commute to and from work I'd buy one.
Completely agree
I used to have a gilera fuoco 500
That was a great thing
Still got my aprilia srv 850
But thinking of going back to the 3 wheels again due to the rain in uk
Either this mp3 530 as the dealer a 10 min walk from me.
Or kymco cv3 if I can find a dealer near me
Kymco cv3 looks so much better. But piaggio been making the mp3 for some time now.
You should try the the KYMCO CV3 as well with more motorcycle feeling, GT 3 wheeler with 2 cylinders.
The Piaggio can’t compare to the Tmax , the Kymco can . I took both test ride in Paris , the only thing that Piaggio is better is the space under the seat for 2 helmets. Besides this kymco it’s better in any aspect ,
Not vibrate as the one 530 cc one cylinder (feel this in red traffic light), the front of the kymco is more stable (reminding the front forks as Yamaha Niken). The Piaggio mp3 have strong market in France, but more fun to ride is kymco cv3
Are these already available or due to be released soon?
I love it I've got the MP3 500 2015 model only reasoñ I will not buy is TFL THEY CHARGE FULL CONGESTION CHARGE !
I will go and take a test ride, tbh was missing my bike and with ill health keeping me off 2 wheels this could be an alternative. Be a godsend if I don’t have to put a foot down at lights or busy junction. Putting on stand is a concern though.
Colin, I'm an MP3 500 rider and, though you can activate the front-end lock as you stop, it's safer to do a foot-down stop and then activate. This is a heavy bike and you don't want to play games with the front locking. As for getting it on the center stand, it's the easiest of any bike I've owned or ridden; just lock the front end, get off and ever-so-easily lift the bike onto its center stand. Tip: I always put some friction tape on the center stand tab where you push it down. This really helps avoid any foot slippage in the wet. By the way, there's also a Multistrada living in our garage but the MP3 is more likely to hit the road. It's also a real curiosity as I'm approached all the time by curious folks when refueling.
You have probably got one by now but if not give it a try you will not regret it just make sure to get a full information on the locking mechanism and you will be able to get on with it 😊
Also you will only need to put it on the centre stand if you leave it parked for a few days or more just disable the lock a remember to put it on again before you take it off 😊
With my spinal issues this is definitely up my alley but finding them in the US, difficult at best
They're available in Austin, Texas, not far from where I live.
Also watch Peter Lowe one as he is in USA and is good info for the states 😊
@@DerekConner259fortunately they’ve become available nearby.
Question why is the Piaggio MP3 550cc, Peugeot Metropolis 400, Piaggio MP3 300 Yamaha Tricity 300
all can be ridden on a Uk car license but the Yamaha Niken GT needs a full drive license. Yet the dicence between the two front wheels looks bigger on the Yamaha Niken GT.?
It’s not mp3 530 exclusive is wider and has a foot brake and a parking brake so it is classified as a trike under license laws which means that you can drive it on a car license if passed before 2013 😊
To tell you the truth Michael, I was more intrigued your pants :) What model are they? Seriously.
Some suggestions for Piaggio: Need Full GPS mapping in large screen (Glass cockpit style similar to Yamaha T-max); Missing electric windshield with wiper washer (similar to T-Max and Adiva), more torque at low revs (ideally turbo charger like Fiat Twin-air turbo), higher gearing for lower rpm on highway (ideal 2000rpm @ 120kph), electronically select-able transmission response, (sport & cruise, like Fiat CVT by using a adjustable CVT pre-load. Lifetime CVT steel belt, Convertible hard top roof for rainy days (similar to Adiva). Crash bars for protection. Its a bit too expensive. Small car is same price!
Congratulations, you just made the bike twice as expensive with all your suggestions!
Just wish they had more hp. 65 hp and I buy it nown
We are looking at one of these for an old pal of mine. He has a disability and walks with the aid of a stick. Has not long passed his CBT and rids a 125cc small scooter (only just manages) He wants a bigger bike. Can an (L) plate take his bike test one of the theses?
Yes, you can take the full A motorbike licence test in the UK on an automatic bike. You'll be restricted to automatics after that, but sounds like that wouldn't be a problem in this situation.
@@motorcyclenewsdotcom Motor tricycles (DVLA)
Provisional category B car licences and provisional category A licences now only cover you to ride motor tricycles if you have a physical disability. Driving tests for 3-wheeled vehicles are only available for physically disabled drivers.
Points to note:
Provisional B1 entitlement to ride/drive a three-wheeler has been withdrawn from all riders, even if they were using a three-wheeler prior to 19.01.13. After 19.01.13, a provisional licence will only cover riders to ride motor tricycles if they have a physical disability.
The rules apply to all three-wheelers regardless of wheel configuration i.e. two wheels at the front and one at the back or visa versa.
Driving tests for three-wheeled vehicles will only be available for physically disabled drivers.
So, my mate has a physical disability (DVLA) approved.
Driving Licence
(Cat: AM + code 01)
(Cat: A + code 01) Provisional
(Cat: B + code 01/114) Provisional
So looking at the MP3 below ( would my mate be able to ride this Without and full bike or car Licence (But under cat: A or B) as a physically disabled person.. ??????.
my interpretation is a physical disability person (DVLA) approved. Can rid any (all) three-wheeled Bikes/trikes/tricycles (any size CC. Provided they hold Cat A or B Provisional Licence. ???
When come in market ji India Mumbai Maharashtra ji excellent looks like ji
Is this motorway legal?
I’m fairly upset you didn’t have the opportunity to beat the crap out of it to be quite honest
Trying to fit two full-face helmets in the underseat compartment costs nothing and would have added a lot of value to the review, IMO.
If you can drive/ride it on a car licence, do you have to by law wear a helmet?
No, it's classed as a trike, no helmet required.
Yes you must.
@@peetje28021970 in the UK a helmet is not required on a trike. I'm on my third such vehicle. It might be considered inadvisable but there it is.
No but if a fly hits you in the eye it will hurt what more if you come off at 70 mph or more you will probably be dead or very bad In hospital 😢
Bike weight
280 kilograms =617.294 pounds
Really mcn its not a motobike its a trike...
U say 3 wheels givr extra grip
Yet you couldnt push it in thevrain

Just can't work up an interest in this thing....
Ford Mondeoy with McLaren diffusers? What t.f. are you smoking?🙊
Paiggio con there customers can't do a fix at a reasonable price anti tilt will cost over a thousand pounds to fix absolute joke
Too heavy, and has a CVT.
I've had the 400 and 500. Loved the idea but oh my god are they poorly built. Dealers are not the best and Piaggio couldn't care less with the usual Italian shrug. I've now got a Tricity, much better. Just want a bigger engine. Be warned
Poorly built indeed, Piaggio's web site is a mess, accessories (and most parts) are discontinued while you take a shower.
Maybe the arrival of the Kymco CV3 inspires Yamaha to make a "TriMax" with the Tmax engine..
@@Christianthephotographer Yep, that would be great
Well done for speaking up. I hear the same thing about can-am, although my neighbour loves his Spyder.
I wanted a tricity....Yamaha but not sold in the USA
Absolutely garbage anti tilt don't work and paiggio can't do a fix in Hertfordshire junk
Save you money don't buy this bike
As a lover of motorcycling....absolutely NO ! Give me a Burgman 650 over this anyday.
