Rider Profile

Best For	Suitable for riders of any license-appropriate experience level, including those newer to two (or three) wheeled vehicles thanks to the added stability of the twin front wheels.
Purpose	Built primarily as a comfortable, stable urban and commuter machine that also copes well with longer paved rides.
Rider Fit	The low step-through seat height and automatic CVT transmission make it easy to manage for riders of varying size and strength, though its 245 kg weight requires some care at low speed maneuvering.
Character	A practical, confidence-inspiring machine that leans into corners like a motorcycle but grips like a car thanks to its patented tilting twin front wheel design.
Not Ideal For	Not suited for off-road use, high-speed track riding, or anyone seeking a lightweight, sporty performance experience.

Units

Calculated in your browser only - your height/inseam are never sent to our servers.

Feet:

At 785mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2010 Piaggio MP3 500, with a moderate knee angle of around 110 degrees and a slightly forward riding position.

Data quality: measured. Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary). This is an approximation from category-typical geometry and generic body proportions, not a measurement of this specific bike or you - sit on it before you buy.
