For a couple of years now, the brand from Pontedera has had a curious three-wheeled scooter in its catalogue, the Piaggio Mymoover 125, but it doesn’t look like an MP3 player at all…
I don’t know if you remember the Honda Gyro-X that are now electric, the Honda Gyro e:, those curious scooters with one front and two rear wheels, and which tilt like a motorcycle.
Well, this Piaggio Mymoover 125 is like a Gyro-X, but Italian, with a single-cylinder 125 cc -4T, LC, 3V, SOHC, IE- gasoline engine, the same one that equips a Liberty 125 i-Get, with 8 kW -11 HP.
It is a flatbed scooter but it has two rear wheels from a 12” Piaggio MP3, between which the gasoline engine is hidden.
All this set always remains glued to the ground, but the front half -with the seat, rear lights and the box- of the scooter tilts to the sides, so to take the curves it leans like a motorcycle.
Unlike an MP3, there are no deformable parallelogram suspensions or anything that complicated, far from it. It’s like you take a 2013 Liberty 3V, slice it in half, remove the rear end, and stick a two-wheel twin package with an engine in the middle.
The Piaggio Mymoover 125 is a vehicle for delivery professionals
Yes, the Piaggio Mymoover 125 is unlike anything the transalpine firm has marketed before. And as you may have seen in the images that illustrate this article, yes, it is designed for delivery companies, so it is single-seater -seat at 760 mm- and in the passenger seat there is a huge 261-liter transport box.
In addition, in the front part of the shield there is a luggage rack with a headlight at the bottom, so the handlebar, unlike the Liberty, is blind. There is no lack of a windscreen that covers the entire driver.
At the front it has a 16” wheel with a 240mm disc brake, and at the rear two 12” wheels -as we have mentioned- with two rear disc brakes, with combined CBS braking.
The lighting is not full led, the instrumentation is digital analogue, and it has a USB port and a card reader that can be activated through an identification card, bearing in mind that it is a fleet vehicle.
In addition, it incorporates a “black box”, in which all the movements of the scooter are recorded, to control its activity and to maximize autonomy, it has a 10-liter tank, so it can do 370 km.
Obviously it is for sale at a price of 6,899 euros. What is curious?
