Piaggio MP3 Scooter Hybrid
Piaggio has announced that plans to unveil a new plug-in hybrid version of its three-wheel MP3 Scooter for the American market by 2010. The new MP3 plug-in hybrid will have a 125cc engine and a lithium battery pack, yielding something like 250cc performance. The size of the battery pack is yet to be determined.
The MP3 500, which is what the scooter will be called when it is released in Europe this summer, will cost between $9,000 and $10,000 when it arrives in the United States, probably around the first quarter of 2010.
There are currently three conventional Piaggio MP3 scooters in the American lineup. The technology and details of the MP3 500 are being kept under wraps for now.
