2021 Yamaha Tricity 300 - gallery

Modern and mature, the Tricity 300 carries itself with the grace and dignity that we generally come to expect from models marketed as machines for the metro-mobility market.

The Tricity rides on dual paired telescopic forks with a parallelogram mechanism that allows leaning into corners with the agility of a sportbike.

In spite of the alien front end, the Tricity provides a smooth ride that handles much like a two-wheeler.

The dual front end is particularly effective on irregular surfaces such as cobblestone roads and when passing over railroads

A swing-drive system combines the 292 cc engine, CVT transmission, and rear wheel in a single stressed assembly below a scooter-tastic subframe area.

Power is delivered to the tune of 27.6 horsepower at 7,250 rpm, backed up by 21.3 pound-feet of torque that comes on fully by 5,750 rpm.

Best of all, the cleaner engine meets Euro-5 emissions requirements

and turns out a top speed that should accommodate travel on any and all public roads

Below the bench you'll find the usual under-seat storage locker, but this one is large enough to hold not one but {two} full-face buckets or a briefcase.

This also makes it viable as a grocery-getter and errand-runner not to mention a campus commuter.

Wide enough to completely protect your legs and trunk, the “300” sports a vented windshield

that extends the protection up to your head and shoulders.

The Standing Assist System keeps the front end from sagging and allows the scooter to stand upright at a stop.

The Tricity 300 comes with stock traction control feature and linked brakes of an ample size for a scooter.

In the Tricity, find comfort in the stability inherent in three-wheel rides while retaining that feeling of flight we get when we lean into a corner.

It even responds to counter-steering inputs, so moving to a Tricity from a two-wheeler ride will come with a fairly flat learning curve.

MSRP on the new Yamaha Tricity is £7,802 and it can be driven with a full B car license.
