I must admit I know very little about the Piaggio MP3, but just looking at it online made me think that it would be worth trying one out. As a 3 wheeler it looks like it offers stability similar to the Spyder, although the shorter separation of the two front wheels likely makes it not quite as stable. Its a lot lighter yet should still be able to handle highway speeds. And the cost is about half of what a new RT would be. I was wondering if anyone here looked at this unusual scooter before deciding to buy a Spyder, and what contributed to that decision.
