Who knows where the MP3 s engine or entire scooter is built?. In 2008 the Piaggio Fly was built in Italy. 2009 built in India. I E-mailed the Piaggio factory over a week ago. No response. Anyone know for sure?.

You asked where the MP3 engine and body were built. OLD answered that both (MP3 engine and MP3 body) are made in Italy.

Ok, thanks for the info. I mis-interpreted the response. So MP3 complete is Italian made. Thanks.
