The MP3 500 ie, which shares the same technological platform as the revolutionary
original MP3, delivers show-stopping looks, incredible performance and the X factor that makes it stand out from other anonymous maxi scooters. The machine is particularly in its element on twisty roads, where the razor-sharp handling is complemented by a superb three-disc braking system and the double ignition “Master” engine. With a strong personality, aggressive design and cutting-edge technology, the
MP3 500ie is ready to ride into uncharted territory, see specs below!
Go out on the Piaggio MP3 500 and enter a completely new dimension: of sensations
and safety. The two front wheels combine the ride dynamics typical of a
motorcycle with incredible road holding. The parallelogram suspension system, a
Piaggio patented innovation, guarantees unrivalled stability, even on wet or
loose tarmac, or trailing other vehicles. The Piaggio MP3 500 is also distinguished
by exceptional braking performance: thanks to the 3 wheels and 2 powerful 240mm
disc brakes with twin piston calipers in front and a 280mm disc in rear, allowing record deceleration (around 8
meters per second) and a stopping distance more than 20% shorter than that of
normal two-wheeled scooters (even with ABS).
Designed using the most sophisticated CAD programs and rigorously tested at each
stage of its development, the Piaggio MP3 500 scooter is cutting edge in all of its details.
The high-strength tubular steel frame guarantees the best stability and
distribution of weight, in perfect harmony with the engine and suspensions. The
dimensions and proportions are similar to those of a traditional scooter, with
even a small front end. Developed in the wind tunnel, the bodywork combines a
revolutionary look with dual functions: maximum protection for the rider at the
front, comfort and exceptional storage capacity at the back.
Quick and safe, the
Piaggio MP3 scooter darts in and out of city traffic as if it’s quite at home: it
negotiates cobbles, rails and drain covers with unbeatable safety and stability.
The seat, with integrated backrest and special ergonomic shape, is very
comfortable and suits riders of all sizes, whilst its height from the ground
promotes maneuverability and control in all situations. There is also comfort
and protection for the passenger, thanks to the side handles for a perfect grip.
Piaggio MP3 500 is extraordinary in every way, including its accessories; from the
“winter pack” with the comfort windshield, the special winter tires, the
heated leg cover and waistcoat, to the Tom Tom Rider GPS navigator with its 3.5” LCD monitor, the X-Jet helmet complete with a Bluetooth communication
system, the electronic anti-theft device with remote and other great ideas.
Actually, they are revolutionary: just like your Piaggio MP3.
