I once had the 400 version of this bike and I thought it was pretty good. It has plenty of power and could keep up with everything on the highway at maximum speed (110km/h in most parts of Australia where I live). The power seemed to be available at the top of the band as compared to the Suzuki Burgman 650 that has the power spread across the band. In Australia all three wheeled bikes (2 at the front like this, Can Am Spyders and Rykers and trikes with 2 wheels at the back) are classed as motorcycles, they require a motorcycle licence and a pre-rider safety course before being allowed to ride. The Piaggio 530 would be learner legal but Spyders, the Ryker 900, the Harley with the two wheels at the back and the Rewaco trikes are not. The addition of the reverse gear and camera is a good idea. I have a Can Am Spyder that has a full reverse and a camera would be a great addition. In my view three wheel bikes (of any sort) are a great way for older riders to keep riding. In my own case I gave up a Kawasaki Voyager 1700 for the Spyder simply because the Kawa was getting too heavy to handle but I wanted to keep riding. Also the three wheelers are good for people who want to get into bikes but are concerned about the safety and stability of a 2 wheeler. It is easy to sneer at and look down on the three wheel brigade but in my view everyone should ride what suits them, suits their riding style and budget and gets them where they want to go. It is the ride (where you're going not what you ride or how fast it goes) that matters.
Super video.
Watched again good information 😊
Nice review. I have over 2 years a 500 HPE Sports Advanced. In just 2.5 years already 54.000 + km. When I will have 100.000 km, I will buy this motor. I am still hapy with my present motor. Overall consumption
That’s impressive
Not my thing but all nice to know.. good review 👍🤜🤛
I got the previous Sport edition and it will stay so. For me biking is the completely oposit from driving a car. Cameras, Sensors, Cruise, a sceen and a app, will only clogg me up, make me older.
Paiggio please fix the issue with the app for £11,500 it is important for everything to work properly
Greetings from Ireland,great review.I,m an old age pensioner who,s been riding bikes for over 50 years,now that my joints are getting stiff especially my hips I think this could be bike/trike number 26...What would your thoughts be about long tours on one,(Spain,Portugal ?)
Interesting to see you splitting traffic - I always found that one of the wheels rode over the cats eyes on my old MP3, which doesn’t happen on 2 wheelers. Did I just need more practice? 😀
I have had mine now since 4/8/22 the app worked fine for 5 to 6 weeks then keeps crashing I still haven’t got it working with my phone so use the Tom Tom lots better ( the good thing when it worked was all the information it gave you like speed ,lean angle etc ) Paiggio needs to fix the app on the phone as you spend all this money and you don’t have the use of all the features.😊
Question about pairing your phone to the MP3 530 does it mirror your phone? I'm planning on getting this bike to do Doordash in the summer months in Canada and I notice there's no place to put a phone mount on the handle bars.
Hello my friend, so if I buy this motorbike, I don't have to get the motorcycle's driver license? (just use my current car's driver license you mean?)
I hope it rides nice, because it's visual ipecac.
Blind spot detection and a reverse camera why!?
Can you carry a pillion on mp3 without a bike licence?
As an owner of the Yamaha Tricity 300 (full bike license holder) what I would like to know is the legality of filtering aka lane splitting with these vehicles ?, I know everyone does it but is it 100% legal ?, the registration document describes it as a tricycle so it is not a motorbike or scooter which can legally lane split , I am sure a lane splitting reliant Robin would get pulled over 🤣
New Beverly must be with the same engine
What licence do need if your car license was obtained after 2013, missed the date by 2 yrs …
Can't decide between this or the Kymco CV 3 because the Kymco is smoother, having 2 cyclinders and around 10bhp more....
