But, from what i know, 3 wheelers have the tendency to roll instead of skidding.

:giddy: you mean the extra wheel will : at its Own Time Own Target roll out by itself? :giddy:

Think rolling should not be a problem, cos rear wheel only one, so in the most extreme case your front wheel on the other side will lift off the ground?

No lah, 'rolling' for cars means cornering so hard that the car rolls/flip over...

quoted 125km/h for 250cc version. But i think it can reach slightly higher than that, on the flat and straight.

 

i test rode it a while. It doesnt feel like 200kg at all. It was not as difficult to "squeeze" thru traffic too. Its a bit "long" in length, thus moving thru dead traffic jam might be a little diff. Acceleration was quik as well. And the best part, upon stopping, jus activate the suspension lock, and legs still stay on the floor board. hehee.

hopefully when the 400cc version is launched they'll reduce the price of the 250cc version... maybe then i'll consider the 250cc.

If for price wise,then the 250cc is worth considering but is not much diff in pricing then a 400cc would be better under the same license class..:smile:

Guys, I dropped by PSC today.

 

Was quoted $10,700 without COE for the 125 and $11,840 without COE for the 250.

 

Main difference is 125 uses carb while the 250 is EFI.

 

Hope this info helps.

 

Cheers!

hi guys, i used to ride an x9 amalfi. noticed that such maxi scooters by piaggio, including mp3, consumes petrol about between 20 and 25km/l which for 100+kg bikes, is quite on the high side? can anyone provide explanation for this? cos the mp3 125 is 25km/l while the mp3 250 is 23km/l according to piaggiornale. thought the consumption rate would be a concern being so high. a perodua kelisa 840kg consumes between 16 and 18km/l. other than operating at higher rpm for the scooters than cars, any other reasons? thanks! oh yes, any ways to bring down the FC by way of mods and techniques?

400cc should be coming in around Oct. or so. The bike should not flip over due to the front suspension system because you can lean into a corner with all 3 wheels contact to the road. The brakes are powerful in fact better than my vfr's.Pick up is smooth for a 250cc Scoot. So I'm putting my money for the 400 hopefully in 6 months time or maybe longer 500cc Gilera Fuoco?:cheer:

Heard from PSC that this coming batch will be last 250cc le.

When they launched the 400cc they will not bring in the 250 le.

I wonder If MP3 400ie the same engine as X8 400. If it is the same then jiat lat liao. Fuel consumption for X8 is about 18.5km/lit, as high if not higher than vfr 800.MP3 fuel tank only hold 12 lit. How to ride to Haadyai? I think must carry jelly can liao.:sweat:

I took the 250 for a test ride and it has plenty enough pep for me. My only concern with getting that (over the 400) would be resale value down the road as I'm an expat and uncertain how long I'll be here. My guess is that if I wanted to sell it in 2-3 years, I'd take a huge hit in depreciation, one, because the 400 will be out by then and most people will prefer that, two, because other brands may have 3-wheel scooters (Gilera, maybe the Japanese...) Moreover, this concept of 2 front wheels is new, so the overall price level may drop after a while, so that what costs 12000 today might be 10000 in three years.

 

But purely for myself, 400 cc would mean worse fuel economy, slightly more weight, perhaps smaller underseat storage space... Since i don't do much highway riding, everything more than 250 is overkill. Even on highways, I'm not sure if more than 250 is of any use either.

Just saw one along Bukit Batok Road this morning! Just the rider stays around my area... too bad I was stopped at the traffic lights and didn't have the chance to get a closer look.

 

Anyway I'm really hoping the Japanese come up with their own versions real soon...

Even the smallest spark can start a massive forest fire...

But is the front suspension system being patent worldwide ?

I'm quite sure if they wanted to, they can come up with another way of achieving the two front wheels concept.

The additional weight from the 250 to the 400 is more than 30 kg!

Certainly far worse fuel economy.

 

In exchange it comes with a longer wheelbase and bigger front tires. Better for highways but probably not much of an advantage in urban Singapore.

He who hesitates is lost!
