This weekend I rent one for both days saturday and sunday and I really enjoy the feeling of riding a bike like this...buying is not for me at the moment but rent is more to do for my money wallet...so stay happy on the bike and stay safe in this difficult time, greetings from Fred from The Netherlands

[@moruby4496]

Bought my Yourban after viewing this for my commute to work - excellent points raised and couldn't agree more

[@hongjiang9220]

don't understand why the music has to be louder than engine sound in review, viewers cannot hear the sound of the cycle. should have done a better job on this aspect of the demo when bike is running

[@AutoTraderTV]

Another great bike review from Jon Quirk!

Much more enjoyable than a railcard. Funny. And so true. I am considering a bike of this nature, although I already have a 'normal' 650cc bike. I think it's probably the novelty factor that draws riders of normal 2-wheelers to these. The CVT is nice and all, but it means a real drop in fuel efficiency. I get about 90 miles per UK gallon from my 650, if I ride it gently, but I'd never get that from one of these. I'd love to have one all the same. EDIT. And yes it was a good review.

[@michaelggriffiths]

I've been riding one of these for some time, a very stable ride. I recently got side swiped whilst overtaking a row of stationary traffic, chap decided to do a quick 3 point turn to avoid waiting; only problem is he failed to indicate or look... Anyway he hit me whilst I was doing about 25 mph, the scooter didn't drop and remained stable. I've got a full (A) bike license and have ridden bigger more powerful bikes but nothing is as stable as the Piaggio mp3.

you were just lucky

[@cdhanks]

No foot brake on the US version and most states require motorcycle endorsement, some states like Oregon has 3-wheel exception only requiring the written test, not the riding one.

[@cdhanks]

Update, in Oregon, any 3 wheel bike over 50cc does require motorcycle endorsement, MC3.

[@c7uk]

That’s the way it should be! Ridiculous to be able to pilot this on a car license when it shares none of the characteristics!

[@archenemy6893]

I've ridden bikes for over 30 years and this still required a learning curve, because because it rides differently to any two wheeler.

[@djmenattu]

Great review! i fall in love with this vehicle

[@hamzaatla3009]

[@archenemy6893]

These trikes are front end heavy and difficult to manoeuvre at very low speed i. e low speed filtering, but that aside they are an absulte blast to ride, extremely stable and rapid, but you still need riding experience to be competent on these machines.

[@littleredcurious5044]

Spittle heavy on the music, but the edits and cuts are good

[@gkelly34]

I’d love to see a review of the newer versions? Thanks

[@gizzee2000]

A charity I help out had two of these bikes as fuel consumption is great. but then the steering bearings went, luckily it was a warranty fix but both bikes had less than 8000 miles on them, so the next time would have to be paid for, at a cost of £800.00 per bike, needless to say we got rid of them, but they had to back to the original dealer as nobody will have them as a part ex due to bearing failure and Piaggio are not very good on aftersales

[@Zodliness]

I have an MP3 500 It's an odd combination of low seat height for shorter riders verses taller riders getting cramped because of the non-adjustable seat height. I'm 6'-2" and find the position feels more like you're squatting on the seat, lower than a more natural sitting posture. I also notice that you can slide forward off the seat under hard braking, because it's flat and tapers to a narrower point at the end. Although the tilt lock is a great concept and works quite well, I would never place all my trust in the tilt lock. For me it's habit to put at least one foot down, when riding a 500Lb machine.

[@alfredleblanc3466]

Needs a real 2 wheel motorcycle liscence here in Quebec Canada...... Get a real moroecycle liscence anyway, it may keep you alive

[@tiberiusmononoke6824]

Yet Jon, I think if you were asked the question would you buy and ride one yourself you'd say "god no"

[@rizzayasin4643]

Amazing, is this available in the Philippines?

[@reptiloidx8942]

a lot people say seat is low enough to put the feet down . well taki it from x-bascetblll player yeah goblins

[@kriega2]

Jesus Christ AutoTrader, sort your sound leveling out in your videos! That speech to music transition is horrendous!!!!

[@vadimprozorov2569]

You can't stretch your legs on it. Wheels obstruct. Look how everyone is sitting on it. Major trouble after 20 km you are dead and have to stop and stretch out

[@timjacklin4821]

211 KG dry? Holy frack.

[@moruby4496]

Yep, all the weight helps keep it stable on the motorway or in heavy winds

[@aczelcarballido5246]

excellent video, which is the name of The song?

[@cdhanks]

Duh, because those are the kind of questions a review answers, what do expect from a review?

[@1990-t1j]

211 kg dry!

[@ВПоискахКладаЗолотаяГруша]

Класс!

[@TerryMasri]

This is NOT a review! If anything, it's nothing short of a full blown commercial. Shame on you for false advertising this as nothing but... especially for a professional establishment like Auto Trader!

[@canalroyale9581]

[@Moultonist]

"Great fuel economy" (80mpg), he says. Some cars aren't far off this.
