MotoMatt tears it up outside the PopSci headquarters
Good things really do come in threes. Three wheels, that is. Piaggio’s newest scooter, the MP3, is the coolest machine this motorcycle enthusiast has ever ridden. The scooter’s three-wheeled design—with one 12-inch wheel in the back and two up front—provides exceptional agility in traffic and maintains comforting stability at high speeds. The two independent, tilting front wheels, which enable up to a 40-degree lean, allow for precision cornering with no fear of spilling. And they handled New York’s infamous pot hole-laden streets with ease—something most scooters struggle with because a single front wheel is more likely to slip.
Piaggio has produced a machine so fluid and user friendly that even a novice motorbiker can hop right on and fly like a bat out of hell. However, the smallish 244cc engine may limit the whole “out of hell” part. Overall, the MP3 is an engineering marvel and a riding experience like no other. I’d buy three if I could.—MotoMatt Cokeley

Thanks for sharing this information!
I believe that scooters are one answer to the growing problem of pollution and global warming! They are perfect for commuting within a city, or for any short trip.
I also have a website about scooters that you may wish to check out. Feel free to visit at: http://www.electricscooteroutlet.com
