Agree. Even if I only use my 2021 MP3 500's reverse once every month when parking awkwardly or backing up on uncertain terrain, it's a terrific feature.
I got to say I am very impressed with your content this is the best overview of both scooters I have viewed thus far! Keep up the good work. Your video has further convinced me that the MP3 530 is the way to go.
Having owned an earlier Gilera Fuoco 500 I found the effort and time required to remove the rear wheel exceeds that of my current ride a Kymco AK 550 scooter. The AK has the same rear suspension, brake as the CV3. Minor servicing times would be about the same however major services will be more costly on the CV3. Unfortunately the Kymco CV3 is not available in Australia where I live. Yes and Gilera/ Piaggio no longer sells the MP3 530 in Australia. Yamaha does however sell three wheel scooters and a motorcycle here in OZ but they are too expensive!
hi, can you fit the Schuberth C5 (63cm sized) helmet under the Kymco's seat? I had some time ago MP3 500, have sold it only when Piaggio de-rated the engine due to oil Überlauf challenge. Kymco looks sportier, you say it drives better, if I could put big helmet as C5 in the storage under the seat, I would be seriously considering Kymco
I used to ride but I’m in a wheelchair now. My left leg works but not my right leg so coming to a halt on two wheels was deadly! Of these two bikes which do you think would best carry a wheelchair on the back? (Wheels off and seat down) Seriously i am considering this as a solution to riding and banking rather than standard no banking trike. I do need a lottery win or wait for a used price. 😊👍❤️♿️
@@petervanaltena5781 I’ve had to move the drivers back rest back 2” to allow for a more comfortable riding position, I’m 6’3”, my only gripe is the foot plates aren’t big enough to accommodate my size 15 feet with biker boots on
Both about the same. I'm 6' 3" and ride an MP3 500. Just did over 200 miles to Devon in the UK and had no problems at all. I'd have done it in one go but sadly my bladder can't cope - not a problem as there is always time for coffee and cake or coffee and a bacon butty.
Just a quick side note, the under seat storage for the Kymco CV3 won't fit either a Schuberth C3 or a Shoei neotec flip front helmets. The Kymco panniers are a whopping £700 and Kymco have deceided not to bring their own top case to the UK, so I have to decide between Givi, Kappa or Shad panniers and top cases, anyone have any thoughts on which to buy?
@@Guardian2003 I went for the Shad 3p system with SH23 panniers and a SH48 top box, with hindsight I should have gone for the SH36 panniers instead, the 23’s are just too small and the inside front edge digs into my wife’s thighs causing her discomfort
hello my good friends... did you notice vibrations on Kymco at 100/115kph on the handelbar... some riders did notice... others dont...thanks for the help...
@@mbr3683 on mine anything over 65mph and the vibration is quite prominent, thanks for the suggestion of balancing the front wheels, I’ll definitely get that done
Hi tomorrow I will go for a buy mp3530 I think is good for me just Im worried because its mine first 3 tires experience before I had africa twin what is your idea for me its good or bed I want more clean riding and safeyl motor for this I want piaggio mp3 what is your comment lets me sir ?
Bravo à kymco Cpdt à plus de 12 900 €, deux énormes erreurs, il manque à ce kymco 1 - un coffre raisonnable sous la selle, permettant de mettre officiellement deux intégraux 2 - un écran, TFT couleur sans réflexion sous le soleil Et enfin ce scooter semble ne pas être disponible au canada
Most countries you can use a motorbike license BUT some countries allow you to ride on a car license, so this is a benefit if you don't want to go to the expense of taking a motorcycle test.
@@tomazstor6501 nothing to do with the engine... or bmw...that price is sick and you know it! Btw sym tl503 have better 2 cylinder engine and is cheaper
What on earth is the using a Chinenglish script with an Native English computer generated voice doing trying to promote these products? Sooo much nonsensical phrases. Is is really that hard to hire a person who speaks real English to create/edit a promotional video? Terrible
Kymco dropped the ball not putting reverse gear in the CV3
Agree. Even if I only use my 2021 MP3 500's reverse once every month when parking awkwardly or backing up on uncertain terrain, it's a terrific feature.
The CV3 looks even better with Kymco panniers fitted. Especially if everything is matching black.
Thanks for the video guys. But I'm amazed that you didn't mention the breaks!!
I got to say I am very impressed with your content this is the best overview of both scooters I have viewed thus far! Keep up the good work. Your video has further convinced me that the MP3 530 is the way to go.
Just have to point out, the Piaggio has about 35% lower consumption as the Kymco!!!
Kymco have 35% stonger engine
@@RixiV11And looks at least 35% better. The Kymco looks sportier, more aggressive.

What the hell is going on with the audio on this video?
The CV3 can have a top case without sacrificing the back sit.
So far, I only found Shad offers that option, but I very much prefer Givi Dolomiti boxes...
I bought a Piaggio MP3 530 HPE because before that I had a Piaggio MP3 300 LT Busines for 8 years. I am 188cm tall, no problems.

In therms of longlivity do you prefer the yamaha tricity 300 or the kymco cv3?
Cv3 ❤👍🤘🙋♂️ist auf jeden Fall vom Fahrverhalten besser.
Which of the 2 seems to be the better choice for taller riders? 1.97 mtr…

The mp3 ofc
Which scooter fits better for the taller person?

Personal choice would be Shad. Great quality and I think Givi can be a little overpriced with no real benefit in terms of quality etc.

Which of them fits better for the taller driver?
He says CV3 is better for smaller people so I bet the Piaggio MP3 is better for taller people.
@@Kees247 :):);) thank you
hello my good friends... did you notice vibrations on Kymco at 100/115kph on the handelbar... some riders did notice... others dont...thanks for the help...
Yes there are vibration issues it just needs a good wheel balance on both fronts wheels and it solves the issue!
@@sonofodin5514 yes indeed. Get wheels balanced and make sure tyre pressures are the same. My MP3 vibrates like mad at motorway/highway speeds.
@@mbr3683 on mine anything over 65mph and the vibration is quite prominent, thanks for the suggestion of balancing the front wheels, I’ll definitely get that done
What's up with the narrator?
Wtf ... Why not a human?!
I am struggling to follow him.
Does the kymco have The stop lock button so you don't have to put your feet down at a light?
Yes it does
@@yanc6727 very cool! I rode a MP3 400 and I really liked that feature. I got to check out one of these kymcos if I ever come across one
I think that the near 3000 euros difference in price is a bit too much , don't you?
@@matyaskiraly7102 price is wayoff for that bunch of plastic

I went from a 1600cc bike to a mp3 400 and loved it.
The narrator is hard to follow. Who programmed him/it?
Any chance of having the narration in English? Whoever/whatever this is -it's NOT English!

i stopped watching when i heard “piaggy oh”
😓😓
Kymco's price is a joke.... guys think they're Honda or Yamaha....
They actualy better lately but you are right for price
Kymco is better than yamaha or honda.. The engine in cv3 is same in bmw scooter.
@@tomazstor6501 nothing to do with the engine... or bmw...that price is sick and you know it! Btw sym tl503 have better 2 cylinder engine and is cheaper
What f'ing language are you speaking?
Its an Ai bot voice
I think that he is German or Italian and he is speaking English as a second language.
piaggie-oh lol
Sporty masculine look? It's a 3 wheeled scooter for f's sakes.

Hi I'm very interested in buying the Kymco CV3. Where do I buy one ? I live in swindon uk any idea where is nearest place please for me. Ty in advance
There are a few UK dealers now which are listed on the kymco website
