This is the Piaggio MP3 Yourban. It’s for when you want to zip around on Southern Europe’s hill-hugging, hairpin-y roads with great abandon. It costs about $8,000, so it’s very much for the person that has everything else they could possibly want (this model’s only available in Europe, so it’s got extra cache if you ship it over here). Or, the person that tried a scooter once and pissed themselves in terror/rolled backwards down a hill/went ass over tea kettle/all of the above.
It is, in a sense, a tricycle, so you might just want to permanently affix a “haters gonna hate” sign to the back. If I had one, I’d ride it into the grocery store and tell people it’s just my turbo-charged Rascal.
I am in love with it, and shall toot around on one the next time I’m on the Med.
