RARE PHOTOS: Piaggio s new scooter promises maximum urban utility but there s a problem - The Real Truth

Scooters have always been about practicality and utility. It doesn’t really matter what kind of scooter you ride, either. Whether it’s a barebones, no-frills Honda PCX or a flashy Italian beauty like a Vespa, there’s always a practical and functional side to your ride.

Today, scooters come in all shapes and sizes, but not all of them are created equal. On one end of the spectrum, you have tiny, barebones machines like the Kymco Agility City 125. On the other, high-end, performance-oriented scooters like the Yamaha TMAX Tech Max inject some sporty fun into the mix.

But then there are scooters like the Piaggio MP3—if you can even call it a scooter.

If you’re unfamiliar, the Piaggio MP3 is a rather peculiar three-wheeled scooter that debuted in 2006. By now, you’d think people would have realized the drawbacks of a tilting three-wheeled scooter, and that the MP3 would have faded into obscurity. Yet here we are, and the 2025 Piaggio MP3 310 is making a bold claim to be better than ever.
