== Overview ==
Piaggio MP3 300LT

















Levels of safety and roadholding that would be
impossible with a two-wheeler, matched with power and verve delivering pure fun
and maximum riding enjoyment: these are the unbeatable characteristics that have
made the Mp3 such a brilliant success.
The technically revolutionary three-wheel layout
with two front wheels is the basis of the extraordinary success of the Mp3, a
scooter unlike anything else in the world which, with its innovative design with
two independently sprung and tilting wheels redefined the very concept of
dynamic stability.

This winning formula - as proven by over 100,000
Mp3 scooters sold worldwide - has, over the years, spawned a multitude of
different versions and spec levels to cater for the needs of every possible
user. These include the Mp3 Hybrid, the world's first scooter with parallel
hybrid drive and plug-in technology, and the Mp3 Yourban, which offers the
exceptional stability and safety of the Mp3 in a vehicle conceived for urban use
and simplicity.
The Mp3 Touring brings completely revised looks
and functionality to the most "classic" version of Mp3 while retaining the
exceptional comfort, space and load capacity that have made the scooter a firm
favourite for thousands of users all over the world.
There is also a new and more extensive choice of
engines: the new Mp3 Touring is available with the classic 125, 300 and 400
engine sizes, which are now joined by an all-new 500cc version offered in
"Sport" and "Business" spec levels.




Piaggio Mp3 Touring 300 I.E. Model Highlights


Design
The evolved styling of the new Mp3 Touring is
immediately evident at first glance. While retaining a distinct resemblance with
the rest of the Mp3 family, the new Touring boasts a new honeycomb front grille
and a satin-finish centre moulding in the front shield.

The design of the windscreen is also completely
new and offers even more protection than before. The new windscreen is
adjustable, with three different settings: the gap between the top fairing and
the windscreen splits the air flow into two parts, directed over and under the
windscreen itself to eliminate turbulence at mid and high speeds.

The new design of the top fairing has also freed
up space for a practical storage pocket with three compartments under the
windscreen.

Other new features are the hand grips, with
improved grip and ergonomics, the silver colour finish of the wheels, and the
saddle, which is now upholstered with new materials and enhanced with relief
stitching. The Touring retains the same class-beating features of the Mp3 in
terms of comfort and functionality, such as the large, ergonomic rear grab
handle with integrated backrest, and the luggage compartment, accessible from
under the saddle and from the rear hatch, with a record-breaking 65 Litres

of
load capacity and the ability to accommodate objects up to 1 metre in length!


Engines

Piaggio Mp3 Touring is offered with a
comprehensive range (125, 300, 400 and 500 cc) of 4-stroke, liquid cooled
engines with electronic injection.

The 300 cc engine with electronic fuel injection delivers 22.5 hp at 7,500 rpm,
and produces a maximum torque of 23.2 Nm at 6,500 rpm: these figures translate
to superlative responsiveness and even sparkling performance, making the Touring
300 ie capable of long range commuting in complete comfort.
The 125 and 300 versions introduce a
groundbreaking technological first for their classes: state of the art Ride by
Wire technology, which electronically controls the throttle valve in the intake
duct to regulate the fuel air mixture with absolute precision. The result of
electronic throttle control is an optimised air/fuel mixture, which translates
to smoother power delivery and, therefore enhanced riding comfort.


Technology

Riding the Piaggio MP3 is an experience that
revolutionises the very concept of mobility, with the dual wheeled front
suspension system ensuring levels of stability in curves far superior to any
normal scooter. At speed, and even when riding behind other vehicles, the
Piaggio MP3 Touring stays glued to the road and always delivers maximum
performance in total safety. The benefits of the three wheel revolution can be
felt particularly on wet roads and in other riding conditions that are critical
for conventional two-wheelers.
On city and urban streets, Piaggio MP3 is unrivalled in terms of safety:
cobblestones, poor surfaces, tramlines and manhole covers are dispatched with
previously unattainable ease and stability.

Measuring no more than a maxi scooter and
boasting incredible agility, the Piaggio MP3 Touring is completely at home in
the city centre. It is also remarkably easy to park, as the electrohydraulic
front suspension hold system keeps the vehicle upright without using the stand.
The revolutionary Piaggio MP3 boasts incredibly
short braking distances unmatched by anything else in the scooter world: the
powerful triple disc brake system and the incredible grip of the front end
ensure stopping distances 20% shorter than the best performing scooter in
critical grip conditions.

When the road leaves the town behind, the Piaggio
MP3 really shows what it is made of. Road holding, cornering safety and lean
angle unattainable for conventional scooters guarantee immense riding
satisfaction on fast country roads.


Colours

The 125, 300 and 400 versions of the new Piaggio
Mp3 Touring are available in four metallic colours - Cosmo Black, Orione Grey,
Midnight Blue and Antares Red.
