General information

Piaggo, the Italian manufacturer of the famed Vespa, has updated its famous three-wheeler for 2010, offering MP3 LT 300 ie and 400 ie "Sport" models that feature larger engines for additional low-end grunt and better fuel consumption.

But where this machine appeals most is who can drive it. The MP3 LT features a larger front track of 465mm and footbrake, which meets proper European Legislation homologation rules, giving the scooter three-wheeled car status.

This allows holders of normal driving licenses the chance to ride it; in Europe, to drive a scooter/motorcycle over 125cc, one must obtain a special motorcycle license. But with the MP3, non-motorcycle licensed riders can finally experience something over 125cc, without the need of getting the extra license.

First introduced in 2006, the MP3 "astonished the world with its two independently sprung, tilting front wheels: an absolutely innovative technological solution that redefined the very concept of dynamic stability." But the 250 version was a bit low on power, so Piaggio decided to up that model to 300cc.

The MP3 LT 300ie "Sport" delivers 22.5 horsepower at 6,500 rpm, and 17.1 ft-lbs of torque at 6,500 rpm compared to the 15.4 ft-lbs of the 250, thanks to the single-cylinder, four-stroke four-valve 300cc motor featuring fuel injection.

The new model also features some electronic enhancements, including the Ride-by-Wire throttle control, which deletes any mechanical connection between the throttle and the intake duct that modulates air/fuel mixture; this provides smoother power delivery.

The MP3 LT 400 ie "Sport" has the same enhancements of the 300 version, but the larger engine provides much more power: 34 horsepower at 7,500 rpm, and 27.7 ft-lbs of torque at 5,500 rpm.

Concerning style, new front and rear lights emphasis "the sleekness of the forms and add a touch of elegance to the unmistakable silhouette of the new MP3 family."

The LT "Sport" has many race-inspired features, including 10-spoke wheels, a car-like grille, premium trim, headlight assemblies with silver backing, and a protective, blue-tinted fumé windshield that provides protection against wind and rain.

The seats provide maximum comfort for rider and passenger, and its red relief stitching makes a "bold statement about the sporty character of the new MP3 LT ‘Sport'. And don't worry about luggage space: the helmet compartment, accessible from both the saddle and rear hatch, offers 65 liters of space, and can carry objects up to meter long.

Combine these sporty upgrades with the reliability and safety of the first three-wheel scooter, and one can see why Piaggio has much success in this custom market. These machines are only available in Europe, while Americans can choose the non-LT MP3 250, 400 or 500 (which still require a Motorcycle License).

Florida Motorcycle Accident Lawyer www.florida-lawyer.com Call or contact: 888 446 1999. Need a Florida Motorcycle Accident Lawyer and looking for an ethical, experienced and aggressive lawyer to figure out if you may be entitled to money compensation for your serious injury? In Florida, motorcycle accidents happen mostly because automobile drivers do not share the road. I frequently represent seriously injured motorcycle riders because a car fails to see the motorcycle and then the car pulls out into the intersection. Another common reason is that the car driver changes lanes without looking. The most frequent injuries are fractures of shoulder or wrists from going over the handlebars, or femur (long bone of the leg) fractures from laying the bike down or a side impact. Unfortunately, even at slower speeds and with a helmet, I have represented the family of fathers and sons who have died in motorcycle crashes. As a Florida Motorcycle accident lawyer, I understand that you may want to express you individuality and freedom on the road by making the decision as an adult not to wear a helmet. The insurance company in a brain injury case will argue that you are the cause of your own injury being worse because if you were wearing a helmet the injury would not have been so bad. I retain experts in biomechanics, who are engineers and if the evidence is available and in your favor, they can calculate the force of the impact and tell the insurance company that they are wrong. That wearing a helmet would not have made a difference. A helmet sometimes can actually make the injury worse. I am not advocating that you should not wear a helmet , it's just that wearing one does not always make a difference. It depends on the accident circumstances. Each Florida Motorcycle Accident claim will get my personal attention to detail and my 30 years of experience. If you would like to consult for free with a Florida civil trial lawyer who is board certified as an expert in civil trial then please call 888-446-1999 There will be no charge for lawyer fees of representation or costs of representation if there is not money compensation recovery.
