3 WHEELS ARE BETTER THAN 2.

Two wheeled scooters? Ha. And again, HA! We'll be laughing at all you philistines still driving such antiquated means of transport as we speed by on our three-wheelers. You're probably still listening to 8-track cassettes and watching Betamax tapes.

PIAGGIO, the company that makes Vespas, has just shown it's new 'MP3' three-wheeler for the first time. Allegedly due to the extra levels of grip it not only can be leant over to crazy angles, but can also brake far faster than a normal scooter. The other bonus for the malcoordinated is no balance is required when stopping at red lights.

Power for the MP3 is provided by either a 125cc or 250cc four-stroke, liquid-cooled engine. 125 sounds a little underpowered but the 250 definitely looks entertaining...
