Great review thank you. I can’t see how 46 people put a thumbs down! You gave us loads of detailed info with real time riding through traffic etc.. cheers. 👍
This bike is perfect for anyone who has only a "B" license in Europe. It is totaly unfair that if you had your license in 1989 you are only alowed to drive a 125cc if you had your license in 1988 you could drive anything! This is once again political discrimination! A top speed "GPS" of about 130-135 is more than enough, even for motorways! I will trade my XMAX 125 in for this Tricity 300 next year. The only thing i could wish for is that yamaha put a reverse on it just like the Piaggio MP3 500. Great review! Oh and it saves you about 1200€ on a A2 license. So the difference is not that big anymore.
Kinda want to trade in my MP3 for this now... I like the larger tires on the front. I really like the MP3 because I can take it on trips and if I'm doing highway speed, I can take wind gusts and bumps without the front end getting bouncy as other scooters.
@@KF1 I currently have 34,555 km on it and it's held up well with the yearly maintenance and occasional new tires, which I just got a new back tire this year. THere is a problem with the front wheel locking senor that fails every now and then and I have to turn off the bike and turn it back on again to get it to work again. Aside from that, it still rides like a dream. Although it probably could use a nice wash.
I had my XMAX 300 since 2019 up to present still the best scooter for me because we had 4 scooters with different brand they are easy to drive without stress but tricity 300 not yet in our country and hoping to come this year 2022
This bike is used by delivery riders in London where it rains 8 months of the year and the roads are covered with metan drain covers and painted lines. Its a workhorse not a sunday riders two wheeler.
@@swissneutro2648 I saw a comment from another biker channel saying Christian had died in a motorcycle accident. I haven't been able to find anything else to get more information. I will try to find out more, I really enjoyed his reviews and feel sad at his life ending so young.

I got the Mp3 500 Sport and by all reviews even the all postive ones about theTricity, mine is the better. As I see in this video the front moves up and down! One can belive that the road is causing it but some reviewers are honest about it, the Tricity front system works in that way, the Mp3 rides dead straight, the front system is far more advanced. In low speed this guy struggels in keeping the Tricity in line, the Tricity seems to be unbalanced! The Piaggio Mp3 is well balanced, there is simply no need in paddling with the feets and it is a dangerous behavior! Anything dangling outside the machine can snap in a matter of seconds! The engine, the Yamaha is severly underpowered, a sitting duck! Some will say that a smaller displacement is more suited for city driving, ehhh...well, driving a bike smothly and safe in the Big City is about zoom and boom!

I am a ex piaggio mechanic I hope that that have looked into the steering bearings better as the mp3 went through steering bearings like no body business witch could take 8 hours to change
hi excellent review could you possibly do a review or a comparison with the new quadro qv3 as im split between the two. probably because of the lack of small storage on the yamaha...cheers ray
I have aprilia sr gt 125cc scooter. Its a nice scooter but a bit to small and a bit underpower for my needs. This sims bigger, higher top speed and looks better option for me. The question I have is, how is accelaration? Is it noteble faster then 125cc 15hp maxiscooter?
Thank you for this video! I'm doubting now. I want to get from point a to b as easily as possible. With the ability of parking anywhere. That's why I was thinking of getting a threewheeler. Is it better to get my motorcycle license and get a motorcycle? What do you recommend? I'm not an enthusiast of cars or motors. As I said, from point A to B ad easily and safely/comfortably as possible.
Motorbikes or 3-wheelers will get you point A to B, and let you park anywhere. They're mostly equal in those respects. Regardless of which one you buy, motorcycle training/license process is highly highly advisable (I think this video made that clear as well). Some people think a 3wheeler will balance automatically - No - The rider still needs to balance the 3wheeler! But 3wheelers greatly reduce the risk of losing balance or traction, that's all. Mostly comes down to personal preference - and cost (higher for 3wheelers on average). If you're not a habitual motorbike rider, then the added safety of 3wheelers makes them very compelling, I think. Some motorbike riders prefer 3wheelers when they approach retirement age. Best idea is to shortlist 1-2 motorbikes and a couple of 3wheelers, then go sit in them. There's no substitute for first-hand feel.
I have a big bike and have had bikes for 45 years. I do not use the bike for pleasure anymore. I will look at this trike when it’s time to change 80 miles per gallon, my bike is 55, luggage space so never carry your coat and helmet. Knee/ lap curtains available. The braking system, fantastic. This is a hands down winner considering the question you asked. I rarely go over 80 mph and and mostly travel at 60 mph. Good luck when you do get a trike
Thanks, great review. I called Yamaha Canada and unfortunately they yanked the TriCity (as well as Niken) out of the Canadian market due to poor sales. It may be the same for the USA, I'm not sure. The Piaggio MP3 is still available in Canada/USA - But it's not a big seller, by any stretch of the imagination. North America is heavily entrenched in car culture, and the minority who use motorbikes seem to fall into 2 categories - (1) Students commutting in sport bikes like the Kawasaki Ninja, (2) "Lifestyle bikers" in heavy touring machines like Harleys or Honda Goldwing. I know, I know, people will say "What about the CanAm" - Those machines seem far from regular 'bikes', as far as I'm concerned - They're almost like ATVs to me, to cruise the Rocky Mountains - I haven't seen many of them in Ontario, and I've been driving here for 35+ years. For now, there's very little traction for MP3/TriCity style 3-wheelers in Canada, which is a pity. Highways & roads in Toronto are jammed a good part of the day, and most cars have a SINGLE occupant - I'm guessing 3wheelers would make a strong case for many car drivers who think regular motorbikes are unsafe. The Canadian winter has something to do with it, of course, but places like the UK and Sweden have far higher acceptance of bikes despite similar cold and snow. Winter brings its own adjustments (such as snow tires for a car), so a family could manage with a single car for 3 months of winter - But the remaining 9months are quite fine for 3wheelers, I think - You don't need a car per family member (as people tend to think in this nook of the world) with the option of 3wheelers, I'm saying.
You can. You can do that with anything. But I wouldn't do that. This is meant for commuting - no more than 50 km a day. If you want a trike, maybe the mp3 500 would be a better solution
Not all countries allow these with car license. But other than that i would drive this easily on long travels. I have a Quadro qv3 and i can comfortably do 4-500 km with short breaks .
@@RacingandAdventure interesting. I'm considering mp3 350, which is the same size as the 500... The height of the Yamaha is a problem for me because I'm short. But you're saying that actually, the mp3 is larger?
The mp3 from Piaggio with the 330 cm, has more power, less weight and you save some on consumption. Dar cu taranii din Romanika e mai buna Yamaha, ca e mai grea, mai mare !
I like to watch scooter crash videos from asia. I know, kind of odd. But I can't get over how almost all the crashed riders survive and just get up and walk away. No one ever talks about the inherent safety factor of having an escape route so to speak from the road. If you drop your bike and your leg gets caught between the road and your bike, you will not be getting up. If the scooter is there and your legs arent getting crushed between the road and your scooter, you will be much better off. There is that extra safety factor on your scooter that is not there on your motorcycle. I've been riding for 30 years and feel Much safer on a system with 2 wheels up front and a space between my legs to bail out. Never dropped a bike but this system is much safer. I wish we had the same availability of 3 wheelers here in the US as elsewhere. I wanted the tricity but will look for a good mp3 500.
Like a 125?!?! I tried it and that's not true, it pushes much more... even in the video he says that he can go cruising at 130 km/h, wonder what 125 can do that.
No he can not! The Tricity will cruise in 90kmh. 100kmh is the real top speed, geting over 100kmh that is a hole in the bucket! Well some lucky day in downhill with the wind pushing in the back it might reach 130kmh. A pure urban commuter.
@@dynomatik Comon man be serious and quit your moped fanboy act! It is well prowen that the Tricity 300 is severly underpowered. Piaggio, Peugeot, Kymco, Chinese clones, they all beats it.
@@stevepelham9010 Chinese clones (?) better than it, top speed of 100... everything you say has no sense man. Don't know why you hate it so much, anyway, at least try it before saying more foolish things. BYE 👋🏻
I had a lot of discussion wether my Honda X-ADV is a motorcycle or a scooter but where exactly is the line between the two? I'm from Serbia and over here it takes around 200€ and few weeks(2-3) to get A2 license, providing you already have AM category. With A2 licence you can ride pretty much any maxy scooter and a lot of cool bikes so is it worth it? Not so shure.
@@ekimandersom4478 I payed 300 € for A cat. because I already had B and AM so I need less practical and theory lessons, if I only had B cat. it would cost 600€. Plus, take into consideration average salary of around 500€. I suppose salaries are a bit higher in "other" countries...
@@bnast6849 Sure, but 2000€ is still 33% of the price of a Yamaha 300 even in our country. And here we have to do theory and lessons regardless if you have a B license and AM.
You have to ask your self, can you handle a bike? It is a bike, it acts like a bike, it is heavy and not that easy to drive as it seems,, two wheels in front will not stop the weight from coming at you.
The front wheels are my concern. They dont look sturdy. Can separate with a bump. Needs more stabilizing and strength. Seen one twist the front tires with a minor accident.
3 wheel vehicles have never made much sense, and if you want the motorcycle experience then 2 wheels is a far superior concept . Another great review , you guys seem able to focus on the most relative points of each bike .
I have a Piaggio MP3 and previously a Quadro 3..I love these 3 wheelers...great for nipping about town not so great on the motorway..under powered forcing trips..I would love a 650 or 800 version..But needs to be no more than 220kg..I do have a full bike license and ride these 3 wheelers out of choice!!
The three wheel MP3 type vehicles make a lot of sense and the riding experience is pretty much akin to a 2 wheeler except for far greater stability all round and in cornering and braking. What's not to like.
I have been riding a bike over 15 years and worked as RN for 11 years... Since the first day I got Tricity 155, Now my only choice is either a car or Tricity. ..sure it will be better if it comes with 500cc or more though.
Not a part of it anymore. We started this one, one our own, a couple of months ago, and this will be the only place you can see us from now on. Cristian.
Friendly warning: This is the worst 3-wheeler you can buy, it doesn't work in the way ALL the other sccoters in this category do: The front wheels locking mechanism does NOT lock the suspension, which means that the bike will be leaning to either direction and you will constantly need to keep balancing your body to hold it upright. It has other issues as well that I will not get into here.
The bike must be straight when locking or it will be hard to keep upright,I an19 stone and sometimes struggle to keep it upright,u get used to it but it will take you many months
I’m getting one even though in Australia we need to get a motorcycle licence for these. Already copping judgment from motorcycle riders who think I should get a “proper” motorcycle instead of a scooter, and judgment from others because I want a 3 wheeler. I decided on this bike based on my needs, and am very excited to get it soon.

The height of the Yamaha is a problem for me because I'm short. But you're saying that actually, the mp3 is larger?
mp3 with no hesitation
The mp3 from Piaggio with the 330 cm, has more power, less weight and you save some on consumption. Dar cu taranii din Romanika e mai buna Yamaha, ca e mai grea, mai mare !
Quadro QV3
My favourite bike
So in Europe a trike is not considered a motorcycle so you need a car driver's license?
Just this one. And the Piaggio MP3. It has a distance of more than 460 mm on the front and a brake pedal - these are the rules
@@RacingandAdventure thanks (knowledge is power)
Not in ALL European countries!
Will these or are these available in USA?
Not sure about it. We re based in Europe.
Sir how much cost of indian rupees. I want this whehicle
I would prefer this one than 2 wheels 😁😁😂
i like this scooter.
I like to watch scooter crash videos from asia. I know, kind of odd. But I can't get over how almost all the crashed riders survive and just get up and walk away. No one ever talks about the inherent safety factor of having an escape route so to speak from the road. If you drop your bike and your leg gets caught between the road and your bike, you will not be getting up. If the scooter is there and your legs arent getting crushed between the road and your scooter, you will be much better off. There is that extra safety factor on your scooter that is not there on your motorcycle. I've been riding for 30 years and feel Much safer on a system with 2 wheels up front and a space between my legs to bail out. Never dropped a bike but this system is much safer. I wish we had the same availability of 3 wheelers here in the US as elsewhere. I wanted the tricity but will look for a good mp3 500.
Isn't it time they put reverse Gears in this type of machines or its too early .
Like a 125?!?! I tried it and that's not true, it pushes much more... even in the video he says that he can go cruising at 130 km/h, wonder what 125 can do that.
Think he was talking about the 0-80k not top speed
No he can not! The Tricity will cruise in 90kmh. 100kmh is the real top speed, geting over 100kmh that is a hole in the bucket! Well some lucky day in downhill with the wind pushing in the back it might reach 130kmh.
A pure urban commuter.
@@stevepelham9010 it's not a 125 man, did you ride it? I've taken 140 with it.
@@dynomatik Comon man be serious and quit your moped fanboy act!
It is well prowen that the Tricity 300 is severly underpowered. Piaggio, Peugeot, Kymco, Chinese clones, they all beats it.
@@stevepelham9010 Chinese clones (?) better than it, top speed of 100... everything you say has no sense man. Don't know why you hate it so much, anyway, at least try it before saying more foolish things. BYE 👋🏻
What is prices
¿Cómo se puede comprar esta moto en Colombia? y ¿Cuanto valdría?
Unless you have both how can you make a comparison
You are also a good person.
I had a lot of discussion wether my Honda X-ADV is a motorcycle or a scooter but where exactly is the line between the two? I'm from Serbia and over here it takes around 200€ and few weeks(2-3) to get A2 license, providing you already have AM category. With A2 licence you can ride pretty much any maxy scooter and a lot of cool bikes so is it worth it? Not so shure.
In other countries a license cost 2000€ and a few months.
@@ekimandersom4478 I payed 300 € for A cat. because I already had B and AM so I need less practical and theory lessons, if I only had B cat. it would cost 600€. Plus, take into consideration average salary of around 500€. I suppose salaries are a bit higher in "other" countries...
@@bnast6849 Sure, but 2000€ is still 33% of the price of a Yamaha 300 even in our country.
And here we have to do theory and lessons regardless if you have a B license and AM.
I'm 1m83 is it comfortable for tall people???
I'm 1.92 and had no problem with a MP3.
@@Habs1967 this is Tricity 300 not MP3
I do not see this on the Yamaha website.
Is the "ride on a car licence" a pan European law?
How much?
Dear sir I m a physical disable boy so can I ride it . please tell me.
You have to ask your self, can you handle a bike? It is a bike, it acts like a bike, it is heavy and not that easy to drive as it seems,, two wheels in front will not stop the weight from coming at you.
speed ?
how much
The front wheels are my concern. They dont look sturdy. Can separate with a bump. Needs more stabilizing and strength. Seen one twist the front tires with a minor accident.

I like it this bike I like this bike in India when launch this bike in Maharashtra
In india when launch
I want that badly 🥰🥰,but i have no money 😂😂😂
It should be available with a Roof option like the adiva ad200.
3 wheel vehicles have never made much sense, and if you want the motorcycle experience then 2 wheels is a far superior concept . Another great review , you guys seem able to focus on the most relative points of each bike .
You're right - the three wheels vehicles are just made for those lazy to get the motorcycle license, and want a commuter. Thanks for the comment.
I have a Piaggio MP3 and previously a Quadro 3..I love these 3 wheelers...great for nipping about town not so great on the motorway..under powered forcing trips..I would love a 650 or 800 version..But needs to be no more than 220kg..I do have a full bike license and ride these 3 wheelers out of choice!!
This design actually makes more sense than 2 wheels for adverse weather conditions but not for toy use.
The three wheel MP3 type vehicles make a lot of sense and the riding experience is pretty much akin to a 2 wheeler except for far greater stability all round and in cornering and braking. What's not to like.
I have been riding a bike over 15 years and worked as RN for 11 years... Since the first day I got Tricity 155, Now my only choice is either a car or Tricity. ..sure it will be better if it comes with 500cc or more though.
What happened to your other channel?
We left it a couple of months ago. Now we started this one on our own, and it's the only place you can find us from now on.
@@RacingandAdventure guess I have to subscribe
TRACER 9 PLEASE.........
Soon
How can i get it in Bangladesh 🇧🇩
125 for filtering?
125 would be better for filtering
@@RacingandAdventure Great video. Thanks so much. One question-does the foot brake operate the UBS(front and back)?
This is India available
In Hungary you definitely not allowed to drive this with only car license. ;)
Needs a t Max engine !!
What happened to Drivemag Riders...
Not a part of it anymore. We started this one, one our own, a couple of months ago, and this will be the only place you can see us from now on. Cristian.
Friendly warning: This is the worst 3-wheeler you can buy, it doesn't work in the way ALL the other sccoters in this category do: The front wheels locking mechanism does NOT lock the suspension, which means that the bike will be leaning to either direction and you will constantly need to keep balancing your body to hold it upright. It has other issues as well that I will not get into here.
The bike must be straight when locking or it will be hard to keep upright,I an19 stone and sometimes struggle to keep it upright,u get used to it but it will take you many months
I like this....
