After launching a 124cc version of its three-wheeled MP3 last year, touted as the world’s first hybrid scooter, Piaggio is upping the ante by introducing a more powerful version that still offers incredible efficiency. The MP3 Hybrid 300ie has a 278cc engine claimed to get 141 mpg in ‘Hybrid Power’ mode while emitting half of the CO2 emissions of a comparable combustion-only powered scooter. But don’t think its riding experience is watered-down as Piaggio reports that the powertrain of the 300ie performs comparably to a conventional gas-powered 400cc scooter while distributing the output between 65% ‘Hybrid Power’ mode and 35% electric. During standing starts or whenever riding situations call for quick acceleration, the electric motor supplements the power of the combustion engine to provide a claimed 30% boost in power.
