The new Piaggio MP3 300 hpe is comfortable and extremely functional. The saddle, with seating on two separate levels, is shaped in such a way so as to allow easy and safe contact with the ground and to guarantee adequate lumbar support for the rider, all to the advantage of comfort. The passenger position is laid back and relaxed, thanks in part to the practical fold-out foot boards which, when closed, integrate perfectly in the fairing. The combined braking system pedal, on the right foot board, has been repositioned for better global riding ergonomics.
The under-seat compartment, extremely spacious, easily accommodates two jet helmets (one jet and one demi-jet). The saddle has a spring to keep it in the open position. A practical and discrete concealed bag hook finds a place integrated into the leg shield back plate.
Like on the Piaggio MP3 “maxi” range models, the dashboard includes a modern instrument cluster made up of two conventional round displays and a multi-purpose digital display with data on fuel consumption (average and current), average and maximum speed, fuel gauge, travel time, and ambient temperature with ice alarm. The instrument panel also includes a clock, total and trip counter and battery voltage reader. The 11 lights on the instrument panel display the functioning of the headlights, dipped headlights, indicators, reserve fuel, oil pressure, warning (injection), immobilizer, ABS, ASR and four emergency lights.
Above the instruments, on the other hand, is a practical glove compartment with a drawer and USB connection, ideal for recharging a smartphone and any other enabled device.
The new Piaggio MP3 300 hpe range comes in two different versions: Piaggio MP3 300 hpe and Piaggio MP3 300 hpe Sport, the latter distinguished by even sportier finishes and details.
Piaggio MP3 300 hpe
A symbol of metropolitan elegance, Piaggio MP3 300 hpe is available in two brand new colour schemes: glossy Nero Cosmo colour and matt Argento Cometa. Both are matched with five-spoke wheels with matt black finish and a saddle with double covering.
Piaggio MP3 300 HPE Sport
Piaggio MP3 300 hpe Sport stands out for its numerous details with matt black finish, such as the “neck tie” on the shield, the stripes on the centre tunnel and the passenger grab handles. Its sportiness is highlighted by the front and rear shock absorber springs painted red, a colour that also appears on the contrasting stitching of the seat. Other standard features include front daisy brake discs and aluminium accents on the footboard.
Three colour schemes are available: Pastel white, glossy Pastel grey and Meteora Black, the latter matt.
