Modern Vespa

It's too bad, understandably, that we are not allowed to post (YouTube) video directly here, so pay really good attention after you click on the link because at approximately 4':08" into the video, something very unusual may blow your mind about the coolest thing that this MP3 can do. Enjoy, and here is the link.

Reverse?

Niice...yet another reason to NOT buy a Can Am

Yes, REVERSE! Goldwing riders must be in shock by now. Two-wheeled electric reverse just ain't as good as a three-wheeled electric reverse.

OOOOH, how I wish I had power reverse!!

I read an article about it shortly before I bought my MP3 2 months ago. After I saw how dawg slow it was it was not even something to wait for, but I never knew about that reverse option!

Here is a link to the English language version

Kinda of makes you wonder why the English version cuts off almost over a minute before the "reversibility" was shown? Piaggio?!

Some very interesting features. I believe the italian narrator also indicated a 20km range under electric only power.

while i am definitely not interested in a hybrid mp3...more stuff to break and heavy batteries etc. BUT, power reverse could be fun

Here is another interesting review of the hybrid.

I don't know of any 250 that gets 90-95 mpg as the article states. Wish they did but I average about 62 mpg. I am not interested in the hybrid either as it doesn't go. But I can see where it would have its appeal.
