Yamaha will launch its Tricity three-wheeler next summer !
The first Yamaha three-wheeler will be available during the summer of 2014 for less than 4000 euros. In addition to its price, this new 125 cc scooter called Tricity intends to seduce city dwellers thanks to its compactness and featherweight unheard of in the segment.. Discovery.
The first Yamaha three-wheel scooter
Expected by the specialist press (read), hoped for by "motorists" and feared by Piaggio, Peugeot and Quadro: Yamaha took advantage of the EICMA show in Milan to present its future three-wheeled scooter !
This is the first representative of a new branch of the Yamaha scooter family: the "new mobility", teach us the Japanese. Called Tricity, this novelty 2014"paves the way for a new range of affordable, agile, compact, lightweight and practical models that will be presented starting next year".
Long to relax -! -, Yamaha has chosen to play it "fine" with its LMW ("Leaning Multi Wheel", which Yamaha translates as "multi-axle steering") against the "heavy" competitors such as the MP3, Metropolis and Quadro 350S…
"At Yamaha, we are convinced that the reassuring design and ease of handling of the Tricity will appeal to novices looking for another mode of urban transport, with confidence.", expose the Blues.
Yamaha predicts that their scooter, powered by a 125cc 4-stroke engine, will weigh around 150kg. Its size – hardly appreciable on the Yamaha stand since the Tricity prototype was perched on a rotary axis! – should match "a small to medium-sized 125 cc two-wheel scooter".
"One of the most important features is the compact shape of the Tricity", insists the firm with three tuning forks,"width of both front wheels included. The driver can thus enjoy optimum maneuverability in traffic jams".
Three-wheeler, 125 cc, 150 kg, € 4,000
The official video of the Tricity (see next page) shows that the front axle of this three-wheeler seems to lack a steering lock system. "We unfortunately cannot answer you on this subject.", simply let us know the technical team of Yamaha France…
Known under the name "Roll Lock" at Piaggio (read in particular our), it allows MP3 drivers not to put a foot on the ground at each stop and to park the machine without a stand. By the way, Yamaha would save precious kilograms … and a good amount of euros !
Because the other major advantage of this "half-portion", expected in from summer 2014, is precisely its price, also less than half that of current bestsellers on the market. !
"Yamaha’s all-new three-wheeled model is sure to surprise with its price below 4000 euros which should be the most competitive in its class", considers Yamaha cautiously. Did the Japanese have wind of inexpensive projects from the competition? Mystery…
One thing is certain, however: with the arrival of Yamaha, the "" that the Europeans were engaged in is now becoming global … Will other Japanese or other nations engage in this new conflict? Business to follow on Site of course: stay connected !
