Piaggio MP3 Hybrid In Production


Some of you have already seen a three wheel Piaggio before.  Till now there has only been a gas powerd version, but now, Piaggio has apparently begun production of the three-wheeled MP3 Hybrid. Currently, the bike is only available in Europe with a price of under €10,000 ($14,125), but we’ve been hearing rumors that it could wind up on the Americn soil in the near future. 
We don’t yet have many details on this model yet, but from what we hear, we should see a 125cc gas-powered engine paired up with an electric motor and lithium ion battery pack that will allow for gas-free riding for up to 12 miles. The speculations for combined fuel mileage could go as high as 140 mpg.

This could be a great way for some commuters to get around the again rising gas prices.
