First 3 Wheel Hybrid Scooter for $7000
Piaggio, manufacturers of the Vespa scooter, are producing a hybrid scooter that is 3 wheels- the Vespa MP3. It is safer and more stable than its 2 wheel cousins.
The 2 front whiles grip the road for enhanced stability. The front wheels tilt independently to hug the road. IT has a max speed of 77 mph.
In full electric mode it has a range of 20 KM. If you are in gas mode you can add electric power to boost performance providing 85% more power. It requires less braking distance than any other scooter by 20%.
The engine is 125cc enough for the legal limit when riding with a car license. Their also going to be a 250 cc version.
CO2 emmissions are only 65% for the hybrid mode and 35% for the electric mode.
This 3 wheeler requires no kickstand. Starts at $7000 MSRP. Check Piaggio USA

Wow! It looks really nice! Great to get around town in style. It looks like it has a lot more stability. I think my husband would let me get one of those! (He won’t let me touch a motorcycle!)

That’s kind of cool, but who in their right mind would be seen driving something that looks like a reject from the Judge Dredd prop set? It looks like the little scooter thing my grandad used to ride.
