I have liked the Piaggio MP3 and its two-wheel front suspension from day 1, when we tested the 250cc version first imported to Canada in 2008. In our bumpy land, cutting the amplitude and violence of bumps in half has to be good. Adding front traction by doubling the contact patch greatly increases stability of the bike and rider confidence - it just makes sense. [more]

Here is a familiar three-wheeled light commercial vehicle for travelers who visit Italy: Piaggio's Ape Calessino. This one however has a silent ride and produces no emission because it is electric! [more]

Italian scooter manufacturer Piaggio, known on this side of the great pond mainly for its big three-wheeler (MP3) scooters, has added a smaller two-wheel model for the Canadian market, the 2009 Fly 150. Physically identical to the 50cc variant, this slightly larger Fly is powered by an urban-friendly 4-stroke engine. The very competitive pricing will no-doubt encourage potential buyers to add it to their "possible" list. [more]

Upon its 2006 European introduction (in 125-cc trim), the MP3 was the hottest new product on the market. Canadian Scooter Corp., the official Piaggio retailer in Canada, chose to bring in the 250-cc model, which is better suited for our road conditions. This scooter innovates by offering a two-wheel front setup as well as a parallelogram suspension. With its 250-cc engine, it proves to be an excellent machine for city riding. It also provides confidence-inspiring stability when cornering or braking. Beginners and advanced riders alike will find many reasons to enjoy the MP3. [more]
