My Girlfriend had an  Piaggio MP3

 

She was really liking it ..

Till her hubby had her take  on back roads and crossing streams ..

She dropped it in 2 water crossings ..And told him she had enough...

They sold it ...

Then there's these things with two wheels in front but a narrow stance. I've seen similar, and wonder why/how when it comes to dual front wheels - complicated steering and suspension? - how does one keep both fronts on the ground over bumps while turning? - how is supension compensated when leaning into a turn, to keep road contact pressure equal? - with that setup how dose it stay upright when parked?


Vaguely reminds me of old tractors

I  have  driven  the Spyders... But NOT this new thing...

The Spyder has a lot of Torque ...

As for dealing with the 1 wheel in the rear you get use to it..

I deal with 1 wheel in the front ..

I had only driven the Mini's as a kid and  never  got out of 1st gear..

So I couldn't give  you  a good Comparison...

Here where I live Polaris are selling at as a "motor cycle" because it has 3 wheels. A MC is either 2 or 3 wheeled vehicle in this Province. The major problem is that the Motor Vehicle Act also describes a MC as requiring the rider to "sit astride" the machine. The side-by-side design contradicts the law. Don't know how they are getting past the law.  Saying that, it is an interesting looking machine and is quite large...way bigger than a Spyder and our Minis...even a MINI. Engine is about 178HP and should provide decent performance if the vehicle does not weigh too much. If I was going for a 3 wheeler, there is only 1 answer....a  Morgan.  

If it's not Scottish....it's crap! (Cry of the Mini Tartan Owners' Clan)

We have enough trouble in Minis dodging potholes, road debris etc. on 4 wheels. That middle back wheel would make the job a lot harder.

I dunno, but for a Polaris it probably really sucks when it comes to snow.

With it having a steering wheel .. Makes it more a vehicle than a Trike (motorcycle)

And the T-Rex

Let me rephrase that - Do you know what this vehicle is?
