New-styled, 3-wheeled scooters have been on our roads for just over a decade now, but despite being big in Europe, they still remain a somewhat unusual sight in the UK.

Many three-wheelers out there can be ridden on a standard car driving licence (subject to limitations), and make for excellent commuters and tourers for those who are looking to switch up their mode of transport.

However, what differentiates these new waves of 3-wheelers from the ‘traditional trikes’ of the past is their ability to lean and handle like regular bikes and scooters - thanks to their clever suspension setups.

With that all being said, in this blog, we will be looking at the top ten best three-wheelers out there on the market ready for 2025!

Kicking off our list today, we’re starting strong with the Can-Am Ryker.

The Ryker is a frequent returner to our Top 10 and unlike other three-wheelers out there, it is not really much of a motorcycle or a scooter, instead it is much more likened to a traditional trike that handles like a souped-up go-kart.

Coming equipped with a 900cc in-line, three-cylinder engine, the Ryker is capable of producing 82hp and 79 Nm of torque even when weighing in at 280kg with an empty tank.

One of the best things about the Ryker has to be the variety of customisation options available, including a choice of engine size, as well as sports and rally packages all coming packed with their own unique features (and prices of course).

Onto price and for the Ryker you will be looking at paying £10,699 for the Standard edition, £13,899 for the Sport, and lastly £15,999 for the Rally.

Ninth spot today has got to go to the Harley Davidson Freewheeler!

Coming equipped with the trusty 1,868cc Milwaukee-eight 114-engine, the Freewheeler produces a beastly 87hp and 159Nm of torque meaning you can feel on-demand power through every twist of the throttle.

Moving onto spec and the Freewheeler is packed full of nifty features including an electric reverse gear, Rider Safety enhancements, a comfortable riding position and passenger seat, as well as plenty of waterproof trunk space to fit two full-face helmets.

The only real downside to the Freewheeler is the weight, sitting at a running order of 513kg this means the Freewheeler is the heaviest three-wheeler on our list today. On the other hand, thanks to the advanced riding features and assistance, hopefully, the issue of weight will be eased at the very slightest.

Onto the price and as you can expect, the 2025 Freewheeler is rather expensive in comparison to the other models on this list, coming in at £31,895 - which may be worth considering if you have a larger budget to play with, or you love the iconic Harley brand.

Up next we have the Yamaha Tricity 125, another beloved returner on this list! 

The £4,453 Tricity has been designed from the ground up to be the ultimate urban commuter. However, unlike most other three-wheeled scooters on the UK market, the front wheels are set up with closer spacing for a more agile and streamlined design. 

Something else that also separates the Tricity 125 from the crowd is its extremely lightweight, coming in at 168kg (with a full tank). This makes it far easier to manoeuvre, with the added help from that independent suspension under each wheel. The Tricity can lean and handle like a traditional scooter, and its narrower shape will cut through traffic with ease. 

In terms of updates for 2025, the Tricity hasn’t seen much of a change from ‘23 packing the same Blue Core Euro 5 engine to provide the excellent, tried, and tested 125cc performance and economic fuel consumption. 

Onto number seven, we have the Can-Am Spyder F3, one of Can-Am's slightly more luxurious offerings from their three-wheeled range! 

Packing a meaty 1330cc Rotax Ace 3-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine, the Spyder F3 is capable of producing a whopping great 115hp and 130.1Nm of torque, setting it way above any of the other models featured on this list for raw brake horsepower. 

Some of the features worth mentioning on the Spyder F3 have got to be the 10.25-inch touchscreen display with Apple CarPlay abilities, BOSCH stability control, dynamic electric-assisted steering making for easy handling, as well as Digitally Encoded Security System (D.E.S.S.) to prevent any theft of unauthorised usage of your three-wheeler. 

All in all, if you’re looking to get your hands on a 2025 Spyder F3, you will be looking at paying £24,799 making this one of the most expensive offerings on this list - however one well worth considering if you have a bigger budget to play with. 

Onto number six, we have the trusty Yamaha Niken GT! It’s effectively a full motorcycle with an extra wheel on the front – for that reason many motorcycle pursits aren’t always keen on it.

Sporting the latest 890cc CP3 EU5 engine straight from the MT-09, the 115 bhp Niken has enhanced power and acceleration. Combining that with the Leaning Multi Wheel (LMW) technology on the front end, allows the bike to reach 45-degree lean angles for some mean cornering ability. Alex has ridden one at Snetterton on track – he said it was like a big sporty sofa, with tonnes of front-end grip.

So, for me, an area in which the Niken really excels is in its stability, not to mention the extra comfort and wind shielding offered by its design. But don’t be fooled, despite two wheels at the front it can still topple over – and you need a full motorcycle licence to ride one.

Starting from £16,416, the Niken also comes loaded with features including traction control, adjustable suspension, ride modes, a slipper clutch, up and down quick-shifter, and cruise control. If you're an experienced rider looking to try something new - there's nothing on the road quite like this for a motorcycle feel with 3 wheels!

Taking fifth spot on the list is another offering from Piaggio - the MP3 530… 

The 530 takes all of the great features from its lower-powered sibling and takes it to the next level packing in a ton of great tech and spec, as well as a 530cc single-cylinder engine that produces 44 horsepower and 50Nm of torque. 

One thing that does let this three-wheeler down though is the weight. Coming in at 280kg, the maneuverability of this scoot can be quite intimidating. However to caveat this, the 530 Exclusive can be locked in an upright position at a standstill and there is a handy reverse gear and even a rearview camera which can feed clear vision to the large 7" TFT dash while moving backwards. 

All in all, I think it’s fair to say that the 530 Exclusive is the crown jewel within the MP3 range all for the price of £11,500, also making it one of the more affordable options too. 

Just missing out on one of the top spots today we have the all-new Peugeot Metropolis 400.

Right off the bat, I think one of my favourite things about the Metropolis has got to be the clean, futuristic design combined with three striking colourways including a black/grey, teal/black as well as a gold/black edition - the teal being a person favourite of ours!

In terms of comfort, the Metropolis also comes equipped with an integrated 54L trunk of storage (enough room for two full-face helmets), a spacious underseat trunk as well as the i-Connect technology and its intelligent dashboard to help you move smoothly around the urban jungle.

All in all, if you want a 400cc comfortable commuter with a fabulous road presence and capable of producing 35.6hp and 38.1Nm of torque, you’ll be pleased to know that you can pick yourself up a Metropolis 400 in 2025 for £9,699.

Starting off our top three today we have the Kymco CV3 that was first showcased at EICMA back in November 2022!

Coming fully equipped with independently leaning front wheels and the same 550cc parallel-twin engine already seen in Kymco's excellent AK550 (that we have recently had the chance to review here at BikeMatters). The CV3 is capable of producing 51hp and 52Nm of torque @6000rpm, with a claimed top speed of 105mph.

However, the fun doesn’t stop there. The CV3 also comes packed with some pretty cool tech, including a standing assist system to hold the bike upright at a standstill as well as a foot pedal brake and a large 6" TFT display with Kymco's Noodoe satnav technology built in.

You’ll also be pleased to know that if you do not currently hold a motorcycle licence, the CV3 can be driven on a car licence (providing it was issued before 2013) meaning that this may be the perfect choice for car owners looking to switch in their four wheels for a more convenient commuter - with an impressive 55mpg!

For 2025, the Kymco CV3 will cost you £10,999 placing itself as one of the more affordable options on this list - a bonus in my opinion.

Just missing out on the top spot has got to be the older Tricity brother - the Yamaha Tricity 300! 

The Tricity 300 comes equipped with a 300cc 4-stroke Blue Core engine, ABS, traction control, a smart key, and a standing assist system for added convenience. The standing assist system essentially allows you to lock the front wheels in an upright position with the press of a button so you won't have to prop up the 239kg weight at a standstill.  

Unlike Yamaha's other 3-wheel offerings, this 300cc Tricity can be ridden on a car licence (depending on licence restrictions). However, it is still recommended you get some basic motorcycle training first. 

Lastly, when it comes to price for 2025 you can bag yourself a Tricity 300 for £8,416 in three pretty neat colourways including Petrol Blue, Zen Green, and Power Grey.  

Taking number #1 today we have Piaggio's brand new MP3 offering – the MP3 310! 

Why have I chosen the freshly updated 2025 MP3 310 as number 1 I hear you ask. Well, I believe the MP3 310 is a great overall package, they sell in big numbers across Europe for a reason. They can be ridden on a car licence, aren't too big and heavy compared to some of the others on the list, and are very versatile. Most of these will love commuting through cities where they will do the job excellently. 

The thing that has made the MP3 family so iconic is the fact this is the model that really started the three-wheeled motorcycle/scooter ideation back in 2006. However, coming in hot for 2025, the brand new 310 is equipped with an all-new 310cc HPE engine that is Euro 5+ compliant and capable of producing 26.4hp and 27.3Nm of torque at 6000rpm. 

Another notable feature of the 310 has got to be the entirely new user interface, with a large 5-inch LCD display at the centre displaying all of the relevant information as well as repositioned handlebar and dashboard controls to make functions and handling far easier. 

On the other hand, if you fancy a 310 that is a little bit extra, for £250 more you can get the Sport version. Which (no puns intended) sports an all-new matte finish colourway, front brake discs with wave profile, a footboard with aluminium inserts as well as the Piaggio MIA connectivity system. 

Last but not least, regarding the price of the 310, you can get a brand-new model from the Piaggio website for £7,650, or as we mentioned earlier the sports for just £7,900. 

So there you have it, I hope you enjoyed my rundown of the TOP 10 BEST three-wheeled motorcycles and scooters for 2025...
