Piaggio Mp3 400
The Piaggio Mp3 400 has a top speed of 155 km/h, produces 35 hp and weighs 275 kg. Motoryk rates it 7.8/10.
A Piaggio MP3 foi introduzida em 2006 como uma scooter revolucionária de três rodas com um sistema patenteado de suspensão basculante da roda dianteira dupla, com a variante de 400 cc chegando em 2007 para oferecer um desempenho mais adequado para rodovias. Ele se tornou um veículo de referência no segmento de mobilidade urbana ao combinar a estabilidade de três rodas com a dinâmica enxuta de uma scooter tradicional de duas rodas e, em muitos países, podia ser usado com uma licença de carro. O MP3 400 se destacou por sua avançada suspensão dianteira em paralelogramo, que permitiu que as duas rodas dianteiras se inclinassem em uníssono, definindo o modelo para toda a linha de MP3 da Piaggio e inspirando concorrentes em todo o setor.

O que os compradores devem saber
Unique 3-Wheel Stability
The MP3 400's patented dual front wheel system with a tilting mechanism provides significantly better cornering grip and wet-weather stability than a traditional scooter. This makes it particularly valuable for year-round commuters in rainy climates.
Watch the Front Suspension
The complex parallelogram front suspension linkage, while innovative, can develop play and wear over time — inspect for looseness or clunking noises before buying used. Repairs can be costly due to the proprietary design and specialized parts.
Slow Depreciation Curve
The MP3 400 holds its resale value better than most scooters due to its niche appeal and the lack of direct competitors in the three-wheeled tilting segment. A well-maintained example typically retains 60–70% of its value after three years.

"Viajante brilhante em clima úmido, prejudicado por um peso enorme."
Eu usei um MP3 400 por 18 meses durante um inverno escocês, e essa dianteira de duas rodas realmente se mantém em linhas de bonde gordurosas e tampas de bueiros — níveis de confiança que nenhuma scooter convencional pode igualar em baixa velocidade. O motor QUASAR é suficientemente potente até 100 km/h, mas parece sem fôlego e vibrante depois disso, então as passagens pelas rodovias são barulhentas e cansativas, em vez de qualquer tipo de cruzeiro. O estacionamento é onde o sonho morre: 265 kg são o território da van e, se você acidentalmente soltar a trava hidráulica de uma curvatura, estará lutando contra um guarda-roupa caindo. O ABS funciona bem e a altura do assento é genuinamente baixa para a área ocupada, mas esta máquina premia ciclistas urbanos que respeitam seus limites, em vez de aqueles que buscam emoções em estradas abertas.

Avaliação do comprador usado
"The best urban commuter you've never seriously considered buying."
$3,500-$6,500 usedThe MP3 400 is genuinely brilliant for city riding and nobody gives it enough credit. That three-wheel tilting front end sounds gimmicky until you hit a greasy roundabout in the rain and realise you're grinning instead of praying. The hydraulic locking system means you can park it upright like a scooter, which sounds minor until you're doing it daily. Maxi-scooter practicality with proper motorcycle confidence — it actually delivers on that promise. Buying used, check the front suspension linkages obsessively. They're complex, expensive to fix, and neglected owners exist. Expect to pay a specialist, not your local Honda dealer. The 400cc Piaggio engine is bulletproof if serviced, but find receipts. Fuel economy is genuinely impressive around 55-60mpg. Boot space is decent but not class-leading. The riding position suits commuting perfectly, highway cruising less so — it runs out of breath above 75mph.
