In 2006, Piaggio invented a new category in motorcycling with this three wheeled leaning scooter. The MP3 500 is capable of about 145 Km (90 mph). The Paggio MP3’s 500cc four-stroke motor is typical of scooters – the power is flat and unexciting due to the auto transmission, and the extra weight compared with a conventional scooter takes a toll on acceleration and top speed.
