You can ride it in Europe with a B license only if you have your B license BEFORE January 19th 2013. Otherwise you need a motorcycle license (A2 at least).
Mi tricity con rodillos Drpulley 23x18 16gr. , Tiene una salida brutal, recupera más rápido que de series y en pendiente he cogido los 152 km/h de marcador. Vale la pena esta pequeña ayuda.Eso si, el consumo sube algo más.🤟
Has llevado mas motos aparte de la tricity? Como 125 y eso o otras de 3 ruedas? Estoy por pillarme la tricity pero tengo la duda si sera mejor la mp3 500
La MP3 tiene más pinta al tener más potencia y cilindrada, pero es más tosca en curvas y en maniobrabilidad. Con la tricity puedes mantener velocidades de 120-130 sin despeinarte,tiene mucho aplomo y que voy a decir de un motor japonés,a parte de que no gasta casi nada,cosa que la MP3 si😊
You have gone lighter with the 16g for faster take off! How is the gearing when your travelling faster ? As i have installed the flying pulley 18g which is a little faster accelerating and feels like a bigger engined scooter when I'm traveling at 40-60 mph . I have heard that changing the stock 17g rollers with 17g sliders is the best of both worlds. !
@@ph5056 ahora con la nueva configuración ,manteniendo el mismo peso de 16gr y añadiendo filtro de alto caudal,la velocidad máxima es de 158km/h ,siempre en pendiente,pero el aire neutro
Top speed andrebbe fatto completamente originale non con lo scarico, e in un secondo momento si può rifare con lo scarico allora si vede la differenza, io ne ho uno originale e la velocità è di 130 km/h, quindi questo che ha lo scarico non è molto piu veloce
For 4 stroke bikes another exhaust (especially just the muffler) doesn't do that much for power / top speed. It weighs less and sounds better (and sometimes it does not sound better), but for real improvement for 4 stroke engines, you need to do a lot more.
The Xmax 300 isn‘t much quicker but it gets up to speed way faster, this almost seems like a 125 in comparison. I can overtake people now and then on my Xmax, I‘d assume that you can‘t really do that on the Tricity
The top speed is not that much higher but from 0 to top speed the XMAX 300 is way faster. The Tricity weighs a lot more. It feels like a 125-150cc or so. But it is for car drivers so good enough. If they want more they can take lessons and get a real license. :)
Up to 50 km/h my NMAX 155 is about as fast, above that the Tricity 300 is faster but still it feels different from the XMAX 300. But that is no problem as the Tricity 300 is for car drivers. If they want more and go faster they can take riding lessons and get a motorcycle license.
This is terrible performance. Midway 90s I had a Puch Thunderbold with a 80cc block with a modified exhaust (+ removed all weld props that reduce airflow), improve brakes, bigger carburetor, adjusted throtle splitter for full throttle range and rollers and did already 120+km/h. Even with a passenger we we're still doing 100+. I know that because we we're faster than cars on the freeway with a 100km/h limit. A 300cc engine should have way better performance. I wonder if some tuning is possible...
You can't compare this to a tuned 2 stroke moped back in the day when there was no such thing as Euro4, Euro5, Euro5+. Next, this is 4 stroke and it weighs a ton. 235 kg. You really can't compare this. That's apples & oranges. The same engine under the XMAX 300 performs a lot better.
There's been rumors of a Yamaha 3-wheeler on T-max "base" (e.g. everything beyond the front assembly), same a Tricity 300 is a X-max 300 + new front. Since forever, 2020 at least. That should've been a blast. The catch is, their much bigger MT-09 based Niken is somewhat of a flop. I'd venture to say, for a number of reasons not quite just about it being a "leaning reverse trike", still, guess, that dulled Yamaha's appetite for these kinds of tech. Big shame, because in my experience Tricity300's front is already pretty much strong enough to handle T-max's ass behind it, not just X-max's. It would add far less weight than power. Why wouldn't they just do that is beyond me. For now the only true supermaxi, by which I mean models with frame-fixed engine and separate rear suspension, is Kymko's "3-wheeled AK550", CV3. I'm almost getting one, but for some reason they decided on some really glaring weaknesses, foremost being puny 13'' front wheels (seriously? Tricity 300 has 14''. If I want double front grip, I definitely don't want it "double of 0.75 normal"), and very restrictive seating with that bloody back rest, which makes it far less comfortable on the long rides for people of 1.8m+, which I am, than either AK550 itself or, actually, Tricity 300. And you'll need a special atelier to remake the whole seat for you to do anything about it. (*side note: Kymco seems to be cursed with far sub-optimal seats. I've ridden downtown, I am now on my 4th year with Xciting400, both are amazing bikes in most regards, high end stuff, well-built, with great value for money, both just beg to bring their seats to re-forming atelier, which I did with mine) We also have mp3\fuoco (which is basically a reskinned mp3 500), but those are "still just basic maxi" (even that half liter is in scooter-style unsprung rear "engine+variator leg" assembly), have that dated and "sophisticated" "vespa-like" front suspension assemblies (which are known to break/fail far too easy and PITA and fortune to fix), weight a ton and feel every gram of it, and overall really beg for a full generational change, as they are still 15+ years ago models with little modern polish. I test drove recent mp3 500 this summer and also did a week on a rented tricity 300. There is literally no darn reason to pick the big piaggio over. it's like 1.5x weight 1.5 price and you still get the same "120? just a moment! 140 gimme a moment to steam up please." granted, you can push mp3 500 to 160-165 about the same as you push tricity 145-150, but that's about it, and mp3 feels way "heftier" at city speeds (and it is).

Was surprised how nippy they are for a heavy thing. Top speed surprised me but takes a while to get there. Enough power to overtake .
It has some power to overtake but it sure if a heavy bike if you compare it to how easy it is with the XMAX 300.

Yep, really heavy. Hope not to many damages? It drops stand assist quickly, almost even as fast as only looking at the throttle.
I've got it now. Should really be highlighted at front of the manual.
Absolutely! It disengages even faster than the drivechain lock on the Piaggio MP3.
Que me recomiendas para conseguir aumentar la potencia ? Tengo que llevarla moto a un mecánico o puedo hacerlo yo mismo .
Malossi and J.Costa have some tuning parts, perhaps the motorcycle shop can help you.
