The first motorcycle taxi company to use the three wheeled Piaggio 400cc MP3 scooter has started in the Parisian suburbs. This is to our knowledge, the 5th motorcycle/scooter taxi company in the French capital {link}.
Called NIP Bike Urban Transport  , the Boulogne Billancourt  based company will transport their passengers anywhere in Paris and its suburbs, using the stable platform of a three wheeled scooter.
NIP is not only equipped with the MP3 scooter, but has the Nolan 102 and 103 helmets with integrated Bluetooth, allowing for the passenger/client to talk to the rider. Additionally, the scooter is equipped with a TomTom GPS.
Several tariffs are offered, depending on time of day and where you want to go. For example, going within Paris between 10 in the morning and 4 in the afternoon will set you back €25. Going from Paris to Charles de Gaulle Airport (Roissy) during the same hours will cost €60, during rush hour it'll set you back €85. Not bad, cheaper than a taxi, anda lot faster....
You can also subscribe to their service, kind of a retainer, giving you discounts.
Currently, you can reserve via telephone or email.
