Engineered by Piaggio for the scooter motorcycle segment, the 2013 Piaggio MP3 Yourban 300 LT pairs a 278 cc (17 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 22.8 HP (16.6 kW) at 7,750 rpm while maximum torque reaches 24 Nm (17.7 lb-ft) at 5,750 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a automatic gearbox and belt final drive. With a specific output of 82 HP per liter and a 2,000 rpm working window between peak torque (5,750 rpm) and peak power (7,750 rpm), the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.
On the scales, the MP3 Yourban 300 LT measures 211 kg (465 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.11 HP/kg (9.25 kg per horsepower). The 10.8-liter (2.9 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
