Rider Profile

Best ForNote: the given specifications are for the Piaggio MP3 400, a three-wheeled tilting scooter, not the Piaggio Medley 125, so this profile reflects the MP3 400's actual character; it suits riders with at least some scooter or license experience appropriate
PurposeBuilt primarily as a stable, confidence-inspiring urban and suburban commuter that leans into corners like a motorcycle but grips the road with an extra front wheel.
Rider FitThe tall seat height and substantial 260 kg weight mean shorter or less physically confident riders may find low-speed maneuvering and parking a bit demanding.
CharacterA composed, reassuring machine that trades outright agility for exceptional straight-line stability and braking confidence, especially on wet or uneven surfaces.
Not Ideal ForNot for riders seeking off-road capability, lightweight flickability, or a small-capacity commuter, since its size, weight, and three-wheel format target stability-focused urban and touring use.

2017 Piaggio Medley 125 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 799mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2017 Piaggio Medley 125, with a moderate knee angle of around 105 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.
