How MP3’s design has evolved to a sportier look
The New Piaggio MP3 has evolved in different ways:
New look, new style
The new Piaggio MP3 departs entirely from the past in terms of design while retaining its instantly recognizable appearance. The new, horizontal LED light cluster on the larger, more protected front has been rebuilt. The honeycomb grille on the front shield gets smaller because of the radiator on the lower portion of the car. As a consequence of extensive aerodynamic analysis, a spoiler grows vertically and serves as a separation between the wheels. On the other hand, the wheel arches have fenders colour-coordinated with the vehicle’s bodywork. This allows the wheels to be more visible. Likewise, the windscreen has a form that aims to provide maximum protection while retaining a little visual impact.
A scooter that is more compact and sportier than ever
It has a more imposing, sporty front fascia and turns indicators incorporated into the wheel arches inspired by the latest automotive design trends. To see this trend more clearly, look to the rear, where a unique, full LED horizontal element with built-in turn indicators and an innovative, extractor-type profile emerges from the vehicle’s taut lines at the rear. More compact and slender: The new license plate holder on the mudguard contributes further to this tail’s exceptionally lean, minimalist aesthetic, seen initially on the Piaggio MP3.
Iconic twin wheels
The wheel rims’ iconic twin five-spoke design has angular and precise lines of modification that keep up with the vehicle’s sportier appearance.
The new 7″ full-colour TFT display
There’s no doubt that the new 7″ full-colour TFT display is the largest on a three-wheeled scooter. The handlebar controls are entirely reworked in accordance with motorcycle logic to improve functionality and ergonomics. Furthermore, similar to a luxury car’s dashboard with additional controls on the dashboard. This was likewise meticulously designed to provide a practical space.
The storage box under the seat
The under-seat storage box features a big, flat surface with courtesy lights and a mat to make the most of every square centimetre. This compartment can accommodate two full-face helmets or a computer bag without issues. Even with the remote control and the Piaggio MIA app, the seat may open and close with ease and safety, thanks to the power assistance to the shock absorber.
More comfortable, more control, and easy to use
First and foremost, the driving posture has been made more comfortable through small but important alterations to the seat-footboard-handlebar triangulation. The footboard has been lowered by 20 millimetres, while the handlebar has been moved back and lifted by 10 millimetres. This means the driver is more comfortable and has more control over the car. The redesign of the driver’s seat provides more legroom and a higher, more comfortable grab handle. The new parking brake control is only one of the many ergonomic enhancements that have been made. The lever is now in a more convenient location on the leg shield back plate, near the ignition switch, making it easier to use.
The future is wide open
On the back of the leg shield, is a pair of saddles with matching colour anti-impact pads for the rider. A retractable bag hook is also available. A USB port and a drawer above the instruments may also function to recharge your phone or any other USB-enabled gadget.
Conclusion
The MP3 is undoubtedly more than just a scooter or motorbike; the new model will hopefully prove this. With the new design, Piaggio has tried to convey that the MP3 is a sporty machine with plenty of power despite its narrow dimensions. It almost looks as if it is ready to take on bike races and win them! Come and see our Piaggio page and find your three-dom 😉
