The presence of tricycles in category A1 and A vehicles (according to the) sowed confusion, even within the editorial staff of the Site … We therefore asked the specialists of three-wheeled scooters to enlighten us.

By reading the new article R. 221-4.-I. Established by Decree No. 2011-1475 of November 9, 2011 (read), it was – a little too easy – to conclude that driving tricycles would require, from 2013 for new drivers, the possession of the A license. . However, it is not !

Because "we must also read article R.221-8", emphasizes Bruno Muller, director of communication and external relations at Peugeot Scooters. Indeed the paragraph "III" still provides that "the category B of the driving license authorizes the driving, on the national territory, of a vehicle of the category L5e (to which will belong and already belong the MP3 LT, Editor’s note) to the triple condition that the driver is 21 years old, has held this category of license for at least two years and has followed a practical training provided by an approved establishment or association ".

"The only change involves the passage from the double condition to the triple condition", continues Bruno Muller, namely the minimum age of 21 years which is not currently in force..

Regarding the 7-hour training, it remains "necessary if the driver does not have a prior insurance history", specifies to Site Guillaume Chatillon, head of the marketing department at Piaggio France.

"We will not have to change our strategy with Metropolis", therefore calmly concludes the head of Peugeot Scooters while for his part, Piaggio will not have to innovate – feint, by means of a fourth wheel ?! – to continue to deliver its MP3 LT and Yourban by the thousands.
