Rider Profile

Best For	Note: 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
Purpose	Built 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 Fit	The 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.
Character	A composed, reassuring machine that trades outright agility for exceptional straight-line stability and braking confidence, especially on wet or uneven surfaces.
Not Ideal For	Not 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.

Inseam (optional)

Units

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 2020 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.
