2020
The 2020 Piaggio MP3 350 continued the innovative three-wheeled scooter lineage, offering a compelling alternative in the urban mobility segment. This model built upon the MP3's reputation for enhanced stability and unique styling, solidifying its position within the maxi-scooter market. Direct competitors in this niche include the Yamaha Tricity 300 and the Peugeot Metropolis, both vying for riders seeking a blend of scooter convenience and a sense of added security.
At the heart of the 2020 MP3 350 is a potent 330.0 ccm (20.14 cubic inches) single-cylinder, four-stroke engine. This powerplant generates a respectable 30.2 HP (22.0 kW) at 8500 RPM, providing ample thrust for navigating city traffic and maintaining highway speeds. Torque figures stand at 29.0 Nm (3.0 kgf-m or 21.4 ft.lbs) arriving at a lower 6250 RPM, ensuring responsive acceleration from a standstill. Fuel capacity is a generous 12.00 litres (3.17 US gallons), offering a decent range between fill-ups, a practical consideration for daily commuters.
Riding the MP3 350 is characterized by its distinctive front suspension setup, which provides a stable and confidence-inspiring ride, particularly over uneven surfaces. The three-wheel configuration contributes to a planted feel, especially when cornering or braking. With a seat height of 790 mm (31.1 inches), it accommodates a wide range of riders, offering an upright riding position typical of a maxi-scooter, prioritizing comfort and visibility. The automatic transmission further simplifies the riding experience, making it accessible to those new to two (or three) wheels.
The 2020 Piaggio MP3 350 is aimed squarely at urban commuters and suburban riders who prioritize stability, practicality, and ease of use. It appeals to those seeking a scooter with a unique presence and enhanced road-holding characteristics, especially in areas with challenging road conditions or for riders who appreciate the added sense of security offered by the leaning three-wheel design. Its robust engine and comfortable ergonomics make it a versatile option for daily commutes and weekend excursions alike.
