Piaggio MP3 Winter Accessories - The Kneeslider


Piaggio MP3 Winter Accessories - The Kneeslider

Piaggio has a press release out on accessories for the MP3. Man, this looks sweet! The word on the street is that the 400 won't be in the states until 2008, which gives me just enough time to start saving up. I think I could ride this thing anytime I'd comfortably drive a car. Plus the WTF factor is part of the joy of scootering, and this puppy has it in spades!

Piaggio’s Winter Pack makes it possible to use the Piaggio MP3 all year round, with protection in all seasons including sub-zero winter temperatures. The Winter Pack includes:
Comfort Topscreen: A large, innovative, fully transparent screen. Its wraparound, exceptionally protective design provides for a comfortable ride even in the coldest weather. The topscreen is equipped with hand protectors and extends above the rider’s head. Made of high-density anti-scratch methacrylate, the best quality material available, the screen ensures optimal visibility despite a 4 mm thickness to guarantee strength and torsional rigidity.
Although it is considerably larger than other products on the market, the Comfort topscreen does not cause any problems when riding because of its highly aerodynamic shape and the excellent road grip of the PIAGGIO MP3’s two tilting front wheels.
Winter tyres: These grooved tyres are particularly suitable for riding on road surfaces that provide little grip. Recommended for use on slippery, dirty, slick or wet road surfaces and in cold weather temperatures.

Built-in, heated leg cover: The built-in leg cover for the Piaggio MP3 is a highly innovative product. The cover attaches to the scooter with a set of practical automatic snaps. A battery-powered pad inside the cover heats it up to create a snug feel. You recharge the battery with a transformer plugged into a power outlet. The cover provides about 5°C more heat than the other leg covers on the market.There are two ways riders can adjust the cover to make it more comfortable to use:- A band around the rider’s hips helps to prevent the cover flapping in the wind.- Tall riders can open up the two expanding side zippers to create extra legroom.The PIAGGIO MP3 leg cover is covered by a one-year warranty against theft.
