Piaggio offers a range of accessories for the new-look Carnaby designed to enhance the carrying capacity of their big-wheel 125cc scooter. Although the Carnaby is light and compact, space is intelligently distributed too, so that the rider and passenger benefit from a broad, comfortably shaped seat and flat platform that offers plenty of legroom. The under-seat bay is big enough to hold a jet helmet and also contains two side pockets for smaller objects and this can be supplemented by the innovative Easy Bag that attaches to the leg shield. This fully detachable bag is made from a waterproof and tear-proof synthetic fabric that blends in with the interior trim without reducing legroom, priced at £34.99.

First, is the new 'Comfort' top screen, this highly innovative screen is large and completely transparent and its exceptionally protective design ensures the rider’s hands are covered as well as extending above his/her head to create a bubble, which helps to insulate the user from the weather. Made from high-quality anti-scratch 4mm methacrylate, the top screen combines optimal visibility and guarantees strength through torsional rigidity. The “Comfort” top screen is considerably larger than other products on the market and works perfectly because of its aerodynamic shape and the excellent road grip of the Piaggio MP3’s two tilting front wheels. The “Comfort” top screen is supplied with fittings and sells for £299.99 inc. VAT.
