Yamaha Tricity 300: a three-wheeled scooter featuring an airbag and cutting-edge technology
The model has been designed as a versatile mode of transport for urban travel. In some countries, the Tricity 300 can be ridden with a standard car driving licence, making it accessible to a wider range of riders. This has been announced by Yamaha Motor Europe.
The scooter is equipped with a 292cc EURO5+ compliant engine with a ‘twist and go’ automatic transmission, ensuring smooth acceleration and a comfortable ride in city traffic.
One of the model’s key features is the built-in airbag for the rider. In the event of a severe frontal collision, it deploys to help reduce the risk of serious injury.
The scooter also features:
-
an ABS system with cornering brake control
-
a BC (Brake Control) system for stabilising movement
-
a Unified Brake System that automatically distributes braking force between the front and rear wheels.
The Tricity 300 is built on the proprietary LMW (Leaning Multi-Wheel) technology, which features two front wheels.
This gives the rider:
-
better road grip
-
stability on slippery surfaces
-
a reduced risk of falling.
The scooter is equipped with a 4.2-inch TFT display and an additional LCD screen. Once the MyRide mobile app is installed, the rider can receive notifications and manage calls and music via a Bluetooth headset.
In addition, Garmin StreetCross navigation is available, displaying information about routes, traffic and weather conditions on the screen.
Additional features
Other features of the Tricity 300 include:
-

-

-
keyless Smart Key ignition

a large under-seat storage compartment for two helmets
