The MP3’s unique three-wheel design offers the feel of riding a traditional two-wheeler while providing unmatched safety, stability and ease of use.
READ WHAT THE PRESS SAYS
• Two independent tilting front wheels provide unprecedented control across any terrain.
• An electro-hydraulic suspension locking system allows the scooter to remain locked upright, relieving the rider from having to physically support the vehicle while at a standstill or while positioning into parking area and eliminating the need to put the vehicle on its center stand.
• 500cc engine, automatic transmission
Why does the rider feel safer?
• More rubber on the road means more grip. The two wheel front-end is less likely to “slide out”, especially in adverse conditions such as wet or slick roads, grease or oil patches, sandy or grainy patches.
• Three wheels also mean one additional disc brake, which allows for more stopping power and shorter stopping distances
