Hell for Leather reported today that the Piaggio MP3 Hybrid has been officially launched in Europe. Details of the revolutionary scooter are as follows:
Configuration:
A leaning three-wheeler combines the advantages of a scooter — traffic busting, easy parking — with something that’s easy-to-use and, most importantly, unintimidating to new riders. Unlike other, supposedly eco-friendly vehicles like the Toyota Prius, the MP3 Hybrid will never get stuck in traffic nor create congestion for other road users, thereby further reducing its impact on the environment.
Since the gasoline engine only displaces 124cc, European riders will be able to ride it on nothing but a car license or a motorcycle learner’s permit.
Fuel Economy:
The MP3 Hybrid performs like a 250cc scooter, most of those return about 90-95mpg. In similar urban conditions, the MP3 Hybrid adds 50% to that figure. In comparison, the 2010 Toyota Prius, the most fuel-efficient car sold in the US, returns only 50mpg in the combined EPA cycle.
The Plug:
A common modification for super nerdy Prius owners is a plug, enabling them to recharge their batteries at home or at the office and then run on electricity-only for longer and faster. That also enables them not to suck down gasoline to recharge the battery when electricity, even from coal-fired power plants, is created far more efficiently and is so easily available.
Electric-Only Operation:
Many European cities are rapidly defining areas open only to electric vehicles. In electric mode, the MP3 can access these areas. Additionally, you never need use gasoline for short trips just super-cheap electricity.
Lithium Ion Battery:
More energy density and reliability than NiMH or LiPo cells, Lithium Ion means higher performance, lighter weight and increased longevity. Expect the batteries to last the vehicle’s lifetime.
Range:
Unlike all-electric competitors, the MP3 Hybrid’s range is indefinite. Need to take a long trip? Just stop at gas stations and top up.
It’s Coming To America:
Piaggio Group President and CEO Paolo Timoni exclusively revealed to us that the MP3 Hybrid will go on-sale in the US Q1 2010 for around $8 or $9,000.

Don’t panic. You were forwarded here on purpose.
In 2007, Vespa was added to our product portfolio in the Des Moines market. At that point, we put together the vespadesmoines.com website to communicate the new brand but didn’t updated it with current information on a very regular basis. So, we decided to consolidate several of our websites into one that serves both our Vespa line as well as our other powersports lines and locations. Although this site is no longer completely dedicated to Vespa, we think you will find this new website a much better companion to your Vespa experience than our previous site.
We are still the same Vespa Des Moines (and Vespa Kansas City) as before. Our site is just new.
Here are some quick navigation links you might find useful:
