How to choose your 3-wheel scooter?

A scooter is above all a device that allows us to move around the city more quickly. A means of transport that saves us time by avoiding traffic jams or traffic jams. We have noticed that for some time, manufacturers have manufactured 3-wheel scooters that have two wheels at the front and one at the rear. This is in order to offer more stability for the driver and to have more handling on the road. However, this type of scooter is not yet widely known by everyone. Although there are already some in the current market. The reason could be the price which is quite high and the lack of variety. The two best manufacturers so far remain Peugeot and Piaggio.

It may happen that for one reason or another you want to acquire this type of machine. It is for this reason that we are going to present to you in a few parts the different types which are the models 125cm3, 125 m3 or electric scooters, the characteristics and a selection of some models. In order to better help you make the choice.

We know it very well, we are all looking for the rare pearl, the ideal model. This ideal always relates to the good quality / price ratio. But above all, it must meet the criteria of our expectations and our needs.

Types of 3-wheel scooters

The 125 cc models

This type of scooter is ideal for use in town or in small towns. We can say that this is an entry-level model. The top speed of this type of vehicle is 90 km / h. The advantage with 3 wheels is that you have better handling and a more efficient braking system. The feel is quite similar to that of a 4 wheel vehicle. You can also enjoy a wider seat, which makes the comfort more optimal.

What we could blame him for is that despite its price, the top speed is not very satisfactory and is not sufficient to navigate the highways. Apart from that, the price is very expensive for an entry-level machine, count in the 4.000 to 5.000 euros on average. If we add this to all the maintenance it requires, it is quite expensive.

3-wheel scooters 125m3

For this type of three-wheeled scooter, you will have the possibility of driving on the highways. It is in fact a model which is superior to the 125 cm3. For that you will have more possibility to drive at more than 100 km / h. On some models you will even reach 130 km / h. The seat and comfort are optimized for a pleasant driving experience. The three wheels offer good road holding, good grip which gives you more security. The advantages with this type of 3-wheel scooter are therefore stability, comfort and power.

For the disadvantages, the first that can be mentioned is the price which is really exorbitant. If this is around 5.000 euros for a 125cm3 model, for a 125m3 scooter it can easily reach 9.000 euros. Apart from that, the 3 wheel scooter consumes more fuel and is less maneuverable when compared to a 2 wheeler.

Electric 3-wheel scooters

Finally we will see this last type of scooter which is ecological, more responsible for the environment. Therefore, the scooter uses electrical energy which is delivered by a special battery. The top speed for this type of machine is generally 45 km / h. When the range or autonomy it varies depending on the model, from 20 to 50 km. It depends on the capacity of the battery. This type of machine is ideal for driving in the city knowing that the speed is quite low compared to the two models we have seen previously. We can also see electric scooter models that are foldable, which saves you space for storage.

The advantage with this type of scooter is that it does not pollute and that it is less expensive than the two types of 3-wheel scooter. Count around 2.000 euros. On the other hand, the power is not there. The autonomy is quite limited and the charging time is quite long, it takes about 5 to 8 hours. Other than that, the seat is less comfortable than on a 125cc or 3m125 scooter. It should be noted that always take into account the instructions to avoid breakdowns or malfunctions.

The characteristics of a good 3-wheel scooter

The power

It depends on the model of 3-wheel scooter and especially your budget. You can find a 3 cc 125-wheel scooter from Yamaha. For other models from other manufacturers we can find more, 400 cc or 500 cc scooters which can be real racing beasts. You should know that the larger the displacement, the higher the price. We therefore speak of a maxi scooter when the displacement is greater than or equal to 125 cc. However, if you are a beginner it is advisable to choose a model that is less than or equal to 125 cc.

The brake system

For this type of three-wheel machine, it is necessary to know that the brake is generally ABS. The braking distance is specially designed to be shortened by 20%. The advantage with the two wheels in the front is that you have better stability while riding. It also allows for good grip or road holding. It can be said that the braking is better than this type of 3 wheel vehicle.

The size of the trunk

For a 3-wheel scooter, the trunk is generally more spacious and can store many more items such as two helmets, a computer or even maintenance or repair tools. This is practical for all trips requiring the transport of tools. The advantage with this is that you can travel a long distance, a short getaway with the possibility of storing your personal effects or luggage without being cluttered.
