The standing assistant was only installed for pushing the Tricity, as otherwise it tips over very easily (believe me) or for standing at traffic lights when you have your feet down. Nowhere in the manual does it say you can leave your feet on the running board. In all the videos this is misrepresented.

Great demo, even I understood the design principle. A very clever design.

[@sailor5026]

Thank you.

[@giovannichiesa2366]

Great enginearing by yamaha

[@kwestak]

Could we have three wheels at the front?

[@arminprnjavorac2084]

Are there any differences to the Piaggio MP3 system?

[@knitterfreiyoutube]

Does anyone have any info on where exactly the focus of the Tricity is? It must be exceptionally high, I guess. I own a Tricity (google translation)

What sort of storage does this have,I used to have an Xmax which did my shopping but whats under the seat here?

[@ScooterLabUK]

Left Behind great storage.

Yamaha tricity comes with a mechanical key to open the seat. But I cannot see the keyhole where the key can be inserted. Neither does the yamaha dealer. Can you tell me where it is please. Thanks

[@megashega]

To open the seat, you turn the ingition knob to the OPEN position, and then press SEAT or FUEL - depending what you want to open. If you don't have your key with you, or the battery on the remote dies, then you can use the mechanical key provided. The lock for that key is on the right side of the bike, under the seat, above the exhaust pipe. Hope it helps, cheers!

Psrece que el sistema estabilizador esta fallando en centenares de modelos y no dan con la solución..

[@sailor5026]

Does tilt lock work with ignition switched off?

[@ScooterLabUK]

If you mean will it stay locked, yes.

[@user-sw2lv3zp6o]

Similar set-up to the Yamaha Niken?

[@ScooterLabUK]

1990 yes other than the suspension is on the inside of the Niken for extra lean angle.

[@gregaekkanetakis6558]

i have a question about the stability of the vehicle, can you communicate with me?

[@ScooterLabUK]

Yes of course.

[@vanislerider7311]

I like this concept. Unfortunately the standing assist was never offered on the Niken or I'd would have bought it. Still might. The biggest draw back with this unit is the engine size.....I live in Canada and the highways are long and relatively fast. I can't see this bike handling 110 to 120 kph all day. Or I'm I wrong?

[@ScooterLabUK]

Yes you’re wrong, I’m the UK we use the 300 for long distance with no problems. They can sit at 80mph all day long and are actually better in many ways than the larger capacity scooters.
