New for 2026 in Europe is the Yamaha Tricity 300 three-wheel scooter, priced at the equivalent of RM45,863 in the United Kingdom. With two front wheels and one in the rear, the Tricity also comes with Yamaha’s Leaning Multi Wheel (LMW) chassis, where the front wheels lean in relation to the scooter, much like a normal motorcycle.
The Tricity also comes with Standing Assist, helping the Tricity 300 to remain upright at a standstill by locking the leaning movement of the front wheels. Increasing safety on the Tricity 300 is an airbag and other riding aids include traction control.
Designed for the commuter, the Tricity 300 is powered by liquid-cooled, four-valve, single-cylinder engine displacing 292 cc. Power is claimed to be 27.6 hp at 7,250 rpm, with a maximum torque of 28.9 Nm at 5,750 rpm, going through a CVT gearbox and belt final drive to the rear wheel.
Front suspension uses double telescopic forks, with steering done via a series of linkages, while the rear gets twin shock absorbers adjustable for spring preload. Braking for the Tricity 300 is with twin hydraulic discs in front and and a single disc in the back, using 267 mm diameter discs, with cornering three-channel ABS as standard equipment.
Additionally, the Tricity 300 also comes with a foot brake and parking brake. The foot brake, located on the right side floorboard, automatically equalises braking force to the front and rear wheel for smooth braking, while the parking brake is activated using a ratcheting lever on the handlebar.
Riding information is displayed on a 2.8-inch LCD screen featuring Garmin Navigation and smartphone connectivity using Yamaha’s MyRide app. Riding conveniences include smart key, a large storage space under the seat for two full-face helmets with courtesy light and LED lighting throughout, including a new design triple LED DRL.
Extending riding range in the Tricity 300 is its 13-litre tank, while weight is listed at 239 kg. The Tricity 300 rolls on 14-inch wheels, with two 120/70 tyres fitted in front and a 140/70 tyre in the rear, while seat height is set at 795 mm.
