- Automatic CVT gearbox with belt final drive

- 280 mm disc at the rear with single piston caliper
- Adjustable dual rear shocks with 108 mm travel

The new 500 replaces the 400 in the MP3 range. The front wheels can be locked when upright, below 5 mph which is indicated by a few beeps, to keep it steady at the lights or when parked.
It auto-releases the lock when you set off and it's still a cool feature. Two front wheels and fancy suspension offers increased grip in the corners and while braking.
The 10-spoke 12" front wheels take 120/70 tyres and the rear 14" a 140/70.
Accessories include the 37/50 litre top box, 42 litre panniers, comfort seat, sat nav, upgraded shocks and tall screen.
Colours: Black, white, grey, blue
