Piaggio MP3 Hybrid: tricycle with a double heart

The fuel consumption of the hybrid model is significantly lower than that of the conventionally operated 125: "In our mix, the MP3 hybrid consumes only 1.7 liters of petrol per 100 kilometers, i.e. less than half that of a normal scooter," explains Martini. Piaggio assumes a usage profile with 35 percent purely electric operation. Which is quite realistic, after all, the range of a battery charge is 22 kilometers.

  1. Alternative from BMW
    BMW should reactivate the scooter C1 and with the current electrical engineering of the e-motocross bikes … equip. Minimal development costs, huge image gain, immense demand. With a 125 driver’s license as a zero-emission vehicle, it’s a perfect solution for cities.

  2. Useless
    Another vehicle as unnecessary as a goiter. technique or not. you are completely at the mercy of the weather here. May be that he is still suitable for pedestrian zones in the sunny south, but such nonsensical vehicles do not solve no problem, but are more dangerous in urban traffic, or who wants to go over the country with such a thing.

    Mobile future

  3. The automatic scooter / mobility of the future
    The price is still very high. However, this will fall as the number of units increases. Anyone who prefers to buy a car here should do so quietly and create traffic jams in inner cities such as Hamburg, Berlin, Cologne, Frankfurt and Munich. I prefer to drive my Vespa GTS and am happy about the long faces in the car. The automatic scooter is the mobility concept of the future.

  4. Who should pay for that??
    You can afford a good used one with a hybrid drive. It also has a roof, you can take other people and even luggage with you.

  5. Simple procedure
    Just ignore and do not buy – let’s see how fast the price down.

  6. Double price, high consumption
    250 kg weight, 10.000 EUR, 22 km range – there should be upset about a fuel-saving and oh expensive small cars La VW Polo BlueMotion. For 6.000 EUR more there are 5 seats, a decent trunk, 1.200 km range and more security – and in a standard consumption of only 3.7 liters diesel (96g CO2).
