The three-wheeled MP3 500 Sport ABS is the sporty-styled flagship of Piaggio's tilting-front-end scooters, with two front wheels for extra grip. ABS and ASR traction control come as standard, and the front suspension can be locked so it stands upright without a foot down. It can be ridden on a car licence in many countries.
