All new Piaggio MP3 500 & MP3 400 hpe sport advanced three wheel scooter lineup
Piaggio MP3 500 hpe Sport Advanced proposes the great new feature of reverse gear, implemented for the first time in the world on a three-wheeled scooter. A function that further heightens the practicality of Piaggio MP3, making for easier, less physical parking even in narrow garages or in situations where there is limited room to manoeuvre, increasingly likely in the city. Reverse gear is activated via a dedicated control on the dashboard, with the engine on and the vehicle at a standstill.
The Piaggio 500 hpe engine: performance and fun
Piaggio's "half litre" engine is extremely robust and reliable. The single-cylinder 500 cc, 4-valve, liquid cooled engine is fed by electronic injection; it is the most powerful in its category and adopts a multimap “Ride-by-Wire” electronic acceleration system that improves engine delivery and smoothness at low revs, and therefore the rideability of Piaggio MP3, giving the rider the possibility to switch engine mapping by pressing a button on the handlebar, prioritising either performance or fuel containment.
Piaggio MP3 500 hpe Sport Advanced is fitted with the latest evolution of the single-cylinder engine called hpe (High Performance Engine), updated to comply with the Euro 5 standard and confirmed in all of its features. Compared with the previous engine, the updates made serve to boost performance, reducing fuel consumption while at the same time improving the tone of the exhaust. The single camshaft distribution system with roller tappets gains a camshaft with optimised timing and valve lift speeds. The intake line can count on a generous filter box that optimises the air/fuel ratio, improving torque at low revs and ensuring an exceptionally smooth ride at any speed. The result is maximum power equal to 44.2 HP at the camshaft. Last, but not least, the Piaggio MP3 500 hpe Sport Advanced exhaust system allows for a reduction in perceived noise and an optimisation of the sound, with a more sports-orientated connotation.
Ultimate safety: three wheels, ABS and ASR
All models in the Piaggio MP3 range adopt the ABS anti-locking braking system integrated with ASR traction control (Acceleration Slip Regulation). ASR (first brought to scooters by Piaggio) can be easily disconnected and guarantees safety by keeping the rear wheel from slipping on dangerous surfaces like wet asphalt.
The three channel ABS system, developed in collaboration with Continental, maximizes active safety preventing wheel blockage when braking and providing full control of the vehicle at all times. The Piaggio MP3 employs an all-disc braking system on the three wheels, with a disc diameter of no less than 258 mm. Greater safety and an even smoother ride are provided by the large 13 inch diameter front wheels.
The Piaggio 400 hpe engine: performance and efficiency
Accredited with maximum power of 26 kW (35.4 HP) at 7000 rpm and maximum torque of 37.7 Nm at 5500 rpm, the 400 MP3 hpe engine makes its début on the Piaggio MP3, built on the base of the previous 350 cc unit which it replaces. It is a single-cylinder, four-stroke and four-valve engine, liquid cooled and fuel injected which has always been considered one of the best powerplants in its class. It stands out for a few motorcycle-derived solutions, such as the automatic multi plate wet clutch, which guarantees better and more consistent performance over time, even in conditions of high thermal stress, eliminating the pesky jerkiness you get with common transmissions when starting from a standstill and ensuring an extraordinary riding experience.
Nevertheless, the substantial difference between the previous 350 and the new 400 does not lie simply in an increase of displacement: although starting from an already extremely efficient engine, the Piaggio engineers focused on multiple aspects with the goal of further improving mechanical and thermodynamic performance, as well as reducing vibrations and noise.
Versions and colours
Piaggio MP3 400 hpe comes in two colour variants, Nero Lucido and Grigio Materia, elegant colour schemes combined with the new black saddle and the grey painted wheel rims. Piaggio MP3 400 hpe Sport is available in four colour variants: Nero Meteora; Bianco Luna, Argento Cometa and Blu Zaffiro, all colours combined with aggressive black wheel rims and saddles.
