- Gilera's Fuoco is a big-capacity version of Piaggio's 250cc MP3. Both look like scooters but with their ability to lean they ride like a motorcycle. Check out the video below as MCN's Chief Road Tester, Trevor Franklin, rides the new scooter

Ok. I have the Piaggio MP3 500. It's lovely BUT you have to understand that it will not stand upright as some people think because it has three wheels. IT WONT unless you do the following
1. It's top heavy.
2. It has a electric switch on the handle bar that locks the wheels in place at very low speeds. To unlock just twist throttle.
3. Get used to having your feet on the ground when you stop and NOT on the foot plate!!
4. Be careful when you stop and park your bike .
Stop, put feet on ground, turn on wheel lock, turn off motor, put bike on stand.
5, Be very careful of pot holes, camber .
6. Turning at very slow speeds in car park the bike can go over.
7. In UK be careful of white road markings if wet and cut them ar a sharper angle.
It's very heavy to lift it up if you let it go over.
i freaking love it, all except that corner scrapping, makes my skin crawl, all in all, very cool
oh crap,the exhaust.....does it live anymore? :))
I have a piaggio mp3 and it never scrapes at all, you can lean off these like mad and they fly around bends. the extra wheel means you dont have to worry about white lining or ruts in the road, point twist and go. safe fun.
I love it!!..Stability, Safety, Flexability. I hate the limitations on a two wheeler!..Thanks for the demonstration..I want one!!
ffs not the engine as well as the pipes. the most ballsy three wheel driving ive seen yet . made me smile mind ya.
You're a good Man. I meant no disrespect. Ride safe.
RIP engine cover
I was been ironic, heck. I now won't ride without my Leatt Neck Brace, even on the road!
Afraid not. because the two front wheels are a certain distance apart (dont know the exact dist.) it is classed a motorcycle. If they were further apart it could be classed as a car, like harley trikes etc
Sure they did! You get an audible warning before dumping the scoot by leaning past the 40° limit to suspension travel.
is the standing system (or whatever it is named in english) not the muffler.
apparently they scrape at 40 degrees or less.. but it's insane to be leaning over that much anyway!
I have heard similar critics about my (non-race) leathers. But ... at 120 km/h you are totally having new skin if you scrape the ground without them. I should know. Still have the scars in my face from a fall at 40 km/h. And that was with a bike! :(
Help please ! Can i press and hold the shock lock button into lock position before i come on a full stop rather than clicking it once after the light comes on ?
Oh man, this is a scooter, not a bike. Please dont lean that low as the side stand is touching the ground making such noise....
Does your Ducati phallus indicate small size if you have small wheels?
its the piagio motorcicle?
Ok so he actually scraping the centre stand not the muffler of pegs! If you take a look at one of these beasts it is very easy to understand how you can do this!
Looks like something scraping along the floor when he goes round the corner
On those bends the exhaust was scraping the floor yet this was not mentioned that put me off that bike completely
It's the center stand not the exhaust.
It wasn’t mentioned because it was obvious.
yes, it's the new eco-friendly sliders..... DUUUUR XD
This is bad!
Draging the engine and eqaust in the bends?? How safe is that? Extra stability??
wow so it can go offroad aswell!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
you can ride these on a full uk driving licence cant you because it is a 3 wheeled vehicle under 500KG
Remember the reg and just pass it on gumtree ebay ect.. haha
Three Wheel Stability is just a myth. search YT for mp3 crash
My question is this: would you buy the 500 if you had it available to you at a similar price? I'm faced with this decision for my wife.
Gravel rash is the same when falling off a scooter or a bike.
Scrape, scrape, scrape! The fact that there is so much stuff dragging on the ground makes it obvious that this was not designed for any serious cornering prowess. Just like scraping the foot-boards of a Harley dresser!
le carter touche le sol en virages a mon avis ya un probleme
is it supposed to scrape like that?!!!
The stability is not good at very low speeds or at the lights
You sure?? Looke dlike centre stand + drive train casing to me... And the exhaust during right-hand turns.
Either way it's not a great feature. Still look slike it can lean further than the Honda DN-01 though!
Why is he putting his feet down?! He doesnt need to!
Haha he was scrapping pegs and mufflers.
the only revolutionary kind of motorbike that really work and like to people..
ITALIANS DO IT BETTER
Great idea for novice riders, also women like the added stability. But... I wouldn't be caught dead on one. It might effect my superior fragile ego. lol ;)
Parlez-vous anglais? LOL
le carter il touche la route il va se bouffer en moin de deux
off road?????? BULLSHIT!!!!!!!
I' ve made now 90.000 KM with my Fuoco, see the conclusion here : czcams.com/video/ha1Z2wWsp6s/video.html
