Loved my piaggio mp3 500 sport....saved me once on wet leaves one winter morning..inner wheel slipped but 2nd wheel dug in a stopped me washing out...amazing technology....great all weather commuters

The first time I came across this vlog was when I was about to buy a Tricity 125 in 2015. Yours was the very first vlog I watched on the 125. Now I was researching on the Tricity 300, and again came across this vlog. I've watched so many of your reviews and now I finally see your face. Great! Thanks for all the work.

Great review...Answered so many questions I couldn't resolve with other reviewers. Thanks very much for the time and effort. I loved the braking test/explanation. Well done!

Thank you brother. You were one of the channels I kept rewatching before deciding to buy the 125 version of this.

Glad to see Cager you made a review on the 300. I agree totally every aspect of your review the 125 Tricity you reviewed 5 years convinced me to go buy one. I'm on my 2nd Tricity now and as a bike rider it's annoying how expensive and heavy the 300 is

I have this bike and its awesome. The stability that front end provides is out of this world and 80mpg

i have one loving it . i am 75 years old so getting used to it and its weight when stopping .

First you convinced me to buy a Yamaha NMAX back in 2015 and now this. Come on, Cager, you are killing me :) No, seriously, I wanted to testride this as well here in Málaga but they are already sold out. Thanks for the video!

Really good review. Thank you!

Thanks for a great review!

Great video, only now do I realise the effort of making these videos after starting to do my own channel. Well done. Enjoy, stay safe!

Oh I really fancy one of these!!

Everyone looks at the cost difference, it's 2000 euros dearer! So let's break it down. First, why are you buying Tricity state your reasons? How long will you keep it? Let's say 5 years. That is 1825 days so you paid 2000 euros more but that is less than a euro per day and you got what you wanted and it meets your requirements and it is a safer ride. So what is your life risk worth per euro a day?

Good review thanks!

I think clamping your phone on the handlebars will negate a lack of storage, and adjusting your style of riding will reduce the washout. You are a very good reviewer, thank you.

i tried mp3 350, it was great fun. i did not have to care what is on the surface, not a slight sliding. it stops immediately. it is very hard to fall from it. it can stand on its on when locked the front suspention. like in the trafic lights, you never put your foot down. huge huge boot space. real fun to ride. these 3 wheelers are right setup for begginers, who are afraid of bikes.

I guess is the better option, since is lighter, sligtly more powerful, and it has a smaller turn radius. So, if the Italian manufacturer proves better reliability, it's the obvious choice !

I'd like to see you review the Honda SH300i scooter. I think it might be good for touring as well as town work. I've got a Silverwing but thinking of downsizing due to the weight.

The charger is convenient if you purchase an after market phone holder, stick it on the steering and run a cable between them. An excellent addition to every scoot or bike.

Did I miss something? Since when Cager has a Tracer 900?

Thanks for the video!💯

Like the bike,Parabens!

Nice one! But so expensive! Trying to convince my friend that does not have motorcycle license to get one, but its way too expensive for the occasional Sunday ride. Had a few laps in a cart circuit, with the tricity 150. Enjoyed it without expecting I would! Thanks for the review!

I can only recommend you to check your back before any emergency braking. Keep safe, mate!

Piaggio/Gilera both part of the Vespa stable and others have tried this idea. Piaggio had the 250, 300, 400 and the 500 was a Gilera. They were sold in Australia (where I live) for a few years but not many were sold. I don't think the scoter market is very big in Australia. Machines over 250 whether they are scooters or bikes are expensive to register and and insure. I think most 2 wheel fans prefer bikes to scooters over the 250 size. I owned a Piaggio 400 for a while. I bought it hoping my wife would get the bug but she didn't and the machine was sold. You are required to have a motorcycle licence to ride these machines in Australia (for reference you are required to have a bike licence to ride a Can Am Spyder the distance between the front wheels is of no consequence ). The concept of the 2 wheels in front is of course a second contact patch and as a result greater stability - don't be fooled these machines can fall over). The front wheels on the Piaggio could be locked at speeds below 5km/h meaning that as you approached traffic lights you could lock the suspension and keep the machine upright without having to put your feet down to balance - twisting the throttle unlocked the wheels. To me was a good idea for older riders who might have been having problems keeping a bike balance but they still wanted to ride as well as for new riders. The Piaggio had plenty of power and could sit on 110km (the speed limit in Australia) comfortably. It was a good machine for the daily commute or a trip to the shops as well as some touring although I personally would have like a bit more grunt so possibly the 500 or maybe a 650. I also own a Suzuki Burgman 650 which I feel is the bench mark for maxi scooters. The Piaggio was not as good as the Suzuki nevertheless it was a good ride.

Interesting point about the possibility of a low-side - in short, yes they can and without too much effort! I was out for a jog one morning in winter and stopped to help a guy pick up his 3-wheeler (Piaggio MP3 or similar) just after he'd low-sided on some black ice (or thick frost) up ahead of me on the corner of a side road. I'd always thought one of the big attractions and selling points of these vehicles, was that they wouldn't easily low-side like that on the cold, slippery winter roads of Northern Europe. That's what that poor dazed guy had thought too!

Well, it´s not a car, it only has one wheel in the back. The front might not slip but the rear slips just as easily as any other bike.

I Love tricity when will b lounch in pakistan?

Thank you, Mr. On Two Wheels. I wondered when you might do this one. Curiously, here in Japan the bike is also a 300cc. The rule here is that any bike 250cc or over (so all bikes labeled 250 are in fact not more than 248cc) must have a government-approved check-up every two years after the bike is three years old. For that reason, I was sure this would either be a 250 or a 400 to make it either cheap enough or powerful enough to make it worthwhile - that is the case with all other Europe / North America market bikes I have checked. The government-approved check-up is 40,000 Yen or more (on Aug 31 2020 that is 317 Euros / 378 USD / 283 GBP / 513 AUD). Therefore, 300cc bikes are not worth it. A '250' requires no checkup, and so costs (as above) zero for the government-approved check-up, as there isn't one. For just another 50cc, the cost of the government-approved check-up makes the 300cc bikes a poor choice. However, the bike you reviewed is a 300cc here, too. As a (very, very disappointed) Tmax 530 DX (late 2018) owner, the fact that this costs a full 2/3 of what I paid for a brand new Tmax with 100,000 yen of accessories is shocking...until we consider that its development costs (and Yamaha knows it will have to wait for a worldwhide return on investment). Would I have one at the cost (one million yen inclusive of 10% sales tax)? Yes... if I were not so terribly disappointed with a brand new Tmax 530 DX. Yes... if I needed a year-round commuter machine for a 100 kilometre each-way commute. As it is, I commute 55 kilometres each way on a Honda PCX150, which, although it is a superb machine in its own right, is almost certainly not as comfortable and untiring as this. Only two wheels? Yes, but so what, I have commuted on it year-round for 5 years, averaging 48 KPL, and the cost of 360,000 yen brand new means this thing you reviewed today wold need to please me three times as much as the PCX. I think not. Although, in fairness to Yamaha, this does not seem to sound like a 2-stroke bike being raped by a 50-year-old washing machine, unlike the extremely expensive Tmax 530. That and the proven stability of this, especially for those not used to two wheels, may make all the difference. I, though, shall wait until Honda makes a 400cc equivalent of this with its DCT, rather than CVT (although CVT is an excellent system).

320 Euro every 3 years is not thaaaat bad

Great review. Where is that ?

My horrible back really appreciates this design. I would be very happy to own one

Would someone with weaker legs struggle to manoeuvre this bike, as they would most large motorbikes?

Would you prefer it over the new mp3 300 hpe? For a small rider (1.73 m 65 kg).

Hi thank you very much. I had Honda CB500, but fell on due rain and pretty much never got on a bike after that. Very scared to drive bike now. Do you think 3 wheel could be good bike for me? I don't care about speed, I just need something that will be very secure so I don't need to think about gravel, white lines, oil, rain, various holes, manholes, etc.

100% the Tricity 300 is the bike for you

Bro, do you use counterstering like in normal two wheel bike ??????

Is the bike operable without the break pedal? I have a bad knee and can't use pedals.

A bit of a crazy thought, but what about a TriAdv? Wonder if the front end would stand up to the longer travel. Most, as in far and away most, ADV buyers don't take them properly OFF any sort of road. But rather on dirt roads, and at most bumpy trails. Not actual bush riding. Once you get to the weight of something like a 1200GS, a front end like this, with some knobbier tires and longer travel, could well make sense for those sorts of gravel/mud roads/trails. It is, after all, as you say, great for bad and bumpy stuff. And no way would I take a GS where ruts are any deeper than the curbs you just rode up like it was nothing at all.... It would be kind of cool to see some dude make it through Mongolia, then onwards to Magadan, on some 3 wheeled Tenere.... And I bet a fair number of Yamaha engineers would love to take on and support such a challenge. But even if that is taking things a bit far; far and away most GS, and (Super) Tenere riders don't go such places on their two wheelers, either.

Same like my Piaggio mp3 it's stand up and parking brake but a lot different only thing California drive it on car license!?

Beautiful Yamaha motorcycle super 🔥👍👍👍

This genius has never saw the specs of the other three wheelers from the competition? The Tricity is the lighter than any of them.

Hi do you know of max speed ?

I don't know how to ride a motorcyle, is it okay for me to have this instead? 🤔

the foot brake is legal requirement so it can be ridden with B license

Hey, when did you start showing your face? :O

is it self balancing?

Another great review. To the point and honest brilliant.🇬🇧😁

A professional who rides a lot in the rain would probably appreciate this for the extra safety, as well as elderly or very relaxed riders. But for 2000 difference in price I'd get the Xmax 300 or even 400 and spend the extra money on getting a full motorbike licence.

What is the top speed of this bike?

How much dloor with dlovrey UAE

Same width as my vespa gts300

Why not colour display

Hi Cager! In California you only need a car drivers license for any 3 wheeled vehicle. The space between does not matter as far as I know.

Same in NZ and our annual road registration for cars is much cheaper so I save about $300 a year on my tricity compared to a bike. Yamaha chose to bring in the Niken as a bike, I suspect so as not to annoy the authorities and encourage a rule change.

Super moto

How much pls??

“Leanage”? Is that even a word? So, when you say, “widen the turn”, you mean it tends to move to the outside of the turn? To be clearer, when you are leaning left on a corner and you lean too far, it heads for the side of the road?
