2021 Yamaha Tricity 300 Review | Scooter with Car License - Better than the Piaggio MP3? 

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 world would be a lot nicer if everyone just let everyone else get on with enjoying riding instead of gatekeeping and nitpicking.

I drive piaggio mp3 the last 10 years. No issue whatsoever passing between the cars. Was driving a bike before.

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. 👍

Bought one last year and I like it very much. No regrets 👍

Excellent video with honest comments.

Nice review 👍I am waiting for Yamaha Tmax 560 review😉

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

Great information, great music too, thank you!

You guys do a good job no matter what you review

Excellente vidéo, très complète, intéressante. Merci d'avoir partagé avec nous

Man I loved your Honda Goldwing review from previous channel like 2 years ago,one of the best in my opinion. I subscribed mainly because of you and the other guy who was riding the BMW K1600 GTL. Why did you guys leave?

Great review as always.

awesome review, thank you. watched you for quite a while now, and here on your own channel its looking professional and getting better. cheers

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

Good review bro.

Very well and honest done!!

Wow wonderful review.

Dobar motor i komforan prošao 2700 km u lipnju (Zagreb -Nice)

I love this bike too !!!!! :-) - Thanks for your Review-Video !!!!

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.

Really liked the steering of this bike but the standing assist could have been better. i prefer the one from the mp3 or metropolis

It's very nice, I wish I had one, thank you very much

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.

Great video, thank you

Mersi de review. Super bine facut si informativ. Tu care ai alege? MP3 sau Tricity?

you explain very well thanks.

Great video. Do you maybe know the lenght and width of the storage room under the seat? :D

R.I.P Cristian, I will miss your enthusiastic, energetic reviews so much. God bless you 🙏 Rest in peace

In riding a scooter and the main complaint i had is no foot brake. It helps a lot when stop at the slop. Since it for driver it should come with reverse gear.

The lane splitting was hilarious

This was a very good review! It would be nice if it came with the T-Max engine!

Fainā prezentarea! did you tried how is handling on u-turns? is it different from 2 wheels or about the same radius?

Great review. Thank you for sharing your experience.

It is available in india,if no how we buy this vehicle in india r how to import this vehicle

do you need to countersteer when turning?

I have seen these sort of things around wondered what they are. Are they a motorcycle, scooter or car.

thank you for this video , can you make video honda XADV, thank you

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.

It only needs to have retractable roof like the AD3

Can we ride 125 version in bus lane or not ( have seen some with L plates which puts me in doubt.)

Very good vehicle , I like it. Pardeep from India.

Excellent review! Very comprehensive.

Great review. I never thought about the pot hole avoidance - really good point. Excellent really enjoyed it.

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.

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

When is it coming to US?

very good video.

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.

Will there be lunch in India till when?

Did he answer if is it better than Piaggio mp3?

Can a person 6'3 in height fit comfortable on this bike?

¿Cómo se puede comprar esta moto en Colombia? y ¿Cuanto valdría?

Sir how much cost of indian rupees. I want this whehicle

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! Rush our, you are reading the traffic, there is a opening and you are going for it on a whimpy wheezer, wee...eeeee! What could possibly go wrong? I in my turn are riding my Mp3 500cc just nodding the gas, wroomff I am in goal! The torque, grunt, a quicker and stonger throttle response will force the bike to go in the way I want it to go making it easy for me to manouver in tight places,, I never have to think about it I just drive.

i like this scooter.

When Are they gonna make them electric and with a cabin??????

My favourite bike

What is prices

Is it available in the United States?

Isn't it time they put reverse Gears in this type of machines or its too early .

When it will come in India,....

Unfortunately I have use piaggio beacause Yamaha doesnt sell this in the USA but piaggio isnt bad neither

How much?

speed ?

I have never ridden a two wheeler. Would it be easy to ride a tricity?

Great review!

how much

3:40 It feels like a bike. But, at the same time, it feels safe. LOL

Can you do long drives with it? Like long trips? Visit other countries? Will it make it? Will it be tiring?

i wonder if this is good for rough roads like in the Philippines

Will these or are these available in USA?

I do not see this on the Yamaha website.

Dear sir I m a physical disable boy so can I ride it . please tell me.

How can i get it in Bangladesh 🇧🇩

This is India available

Unless you have both how can you make a comparison

So in Europe a trike is not considered a motorcycle so you need a car driver's license?

I would prefer this one than 2 wheels 😁😁😂

You are also a good person.

Is the "ride on a car licence" a pan European law?

I like this....

If you had to choose between this vs the mp3 500?

I like it this bike I like this bike in India when launch this bike in Maharashtra

I want that badly 🥰🥰,but i have no money 😂😂😂

Hi, would you take the Yamaha tricity or the piaggio mp3 300 hpe? Let's say they priced the same

I'm 1m83 is it comfortable for tall people???

One question why.....? Does it have any purpose man?

Needs to be a 650cc needs large saddlebags for shopping.

I want this bike in India .What do I do

In Hungary you definitely not allowed to drive this with only car license. ;)

What happened to your other channel?

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.

TRACER 9 PLEASE.........

What happened to Drivemag Riders...

Pls come to India...i need this bike

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.

125 for filtering?

I want 500cc.

R.I.P

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.
