That doesn't look half bad Kate. Wheels seem a bit too far apart though. Do you have any more pics or a linky? Who makes it?

If your French is good, there is more info at www.scooter-infos.com

It's a Piaggio restyling of the MP3 LT that we have in Europe (hence the wheels being far apart as technically it makes it a car under the current laws here and you can drive it on a car licence).

I'm guessing that the MP3 range as a while could be made to look like this...

Sorry for the parade raining, but that is a Photoshop mockup, not a real vehicle, by scooter-info.com in which they philosophize on what an LT version of the /300 might look like next year. An attempt at babblefishing the text yeilds in part

"To try to bring some brief replies, here a small fascinating photomontage of account at the same time the new tendency of the Piaggio style and town orientation of this new scooter with 3 wheels. As the available data are gathered, one moves away from approach MP3 low-cost to anticipate a model in phase with the standards of quality imposed by the Beverly last."

Oh well... I need to improve my French! I thought it was a Piaggio mock up, not scooter-infos themselves...

It already exists Kate and was probably the inspiration. For those of you who haven't seen it before, it's amazing! Here is the Italjet Scooop:

Yes we all know that. What we're saying though is that they should build a light version. Period. This is much funkier than the MP3. I'd have one in a heartbeat.

Yes, but did you notice the acute angle the rider's knees are cramped into? More footpeg bracket opportunities!

Well I'm not in the market - I've just noticed something that looks suspiciously like a turd atop of the headlight...

Ooooo! Perhaps that won't be an issue for the intended market...

Have you ever witnessed the complete patheticness of someone my size lusting after a regular MP3?!
(And no, I couldn't just lock the steering every single time I planned to stop)

Whether or not this is close to what the MP3 Light will look like, Piaggio is in fact making an MP3 Light. I found it in official Piaggio doctrine.

"As part of the two-wheeler manufacturing process, the assembly and testing process for the new Beverly was approved, and pre-production sages of the new MP3 Light were launched." all in one sentence.

It appears that the front suspension set-up is a whole lot simpler on that, than the MP3 and seems to operate just as well.
