My grandson has recently updated his ride to a Piaggio MP3 250cc scooter and a new helmet! Looks like he needs to grow a bit to fit into both!
Okay, maybe it is his parents that bought the Piaggio MP3 250cc scooter! They picked this up for a song. Needs a few little things, but overall it was a great deal. They sent me a link to Motor Scooter Guide to learn more about this scooter. I’ve never heard or seen a Piaggio before. Check it out!
Introducing the Piaggio MP3 250cc Scooter
I love a nice logo – well done Piaggio!
Have you ever seen or heard about a Piaggio scooter? Drop a comment and let me know!
Gals, if you ride a scooter I’d love to add your story to my Lady Riders profiles.

I’ve seen a few of these, their owners love them…apparently they’re great fun. It’s quite the feat of engineering in that you still lean the bike to steer even though there’s two wheels up front! Kinda freaky to watch!
Bikermissus – hard to believe they would steer like that!
I’ve seen loads of these here in the UK – they look like great fun to ride. Two wheels at the front is a bit odd looking but I’m told the corners are still as much fun!
Zoe – I’m hoping to hop on it when I visit them in November! I’ll report back.
Ride like a scooter, corner like a sport bike. I don’t think they can go wrong with the MP3. They are selling hold over models super cheap in Oregon right now. Hubby has even been tempted to put one in the garage.
Cute pics of the grandson too!! He makes a great scoot model.
Trobairitz – thanks for noticing that cute little guy!
Lately this seems to be of the most sold scooters in Europe, part reason being that you are allowed riding them with a regular car drivers license.
SonjaM – interesting! We need the motorcycle endorsement because of the 250 cc. Smaller scooters are exempt. I’m hoping to get to ride it when I visit them in November.
Oh, yes. I know several people who have them. They came out in 2007. Corners like it’s stops on (almost) a dime because there are two front wheels. Really, if you forget about how weird it is and just ride it, it’s the best 2-wheeler you’ll ever ride.

Orin – I’m hoping to be able to take it for a spin when I visit them next month. Hearing all the great reports is exciting!
