Piaggio MP3
The Piaggio MP3 is a tilting three-wheeled scooter from Italian manufacturer Piaggio first marketed in 2006 noted for its combination of two front wheels and a single rear wheel.
MP3 is an acronym of ''Moto Piaggio a 3 ruote'', Italian for "Piaggio motorcycle with 3 wheels")
== Suspension mechanism ==
Utilising its three-wheel mechanism, the MP3 can be stopped and parked , without using a traditional kickstand or centre stand, and can be parked on irregular or side-sloping ground.
The front suspension is similar to the single-sided trailing arm of Vespa-style suspensions, linked by an alloy parallelogram and a central steering arm. When moving at slow speeds or stopped, the rider maintains balance by maintaining forward motion or placing feet on the ground. The front suspension locks or unlocks using a switch, which is located just below the throttle on the right handlebar. The suspension lock can only be activated manually, at low speeds or at a stop; the lock is automatically disengaged when the engine speed exceeds 2,500 rpm.〔(Piaggio Owners Manual, page 42 )〕 A parking brake is used in conjunction with the locking mechanism to park the bike. A traditional center stand is also provided, useful in situations where the suspension cannot be locked, such as with a dead battery (though the suspension will remain locked if the battery fails or is removed while the scooter is parked.)
