The Piaggio Ape (pronounced [ˈpjaddʒo ˈaːpe]; ape being Italian for ' bee '), [1][2] initially marketed as VespaCar or TriVespa, [1] is a three-wheeled light commercial vehicle, manufactured and marketed by Piaggio as an adaptation of the company's Vespa scooter (vespa being Italian for 'wasp').
The Piaggio Ape is a family of three-wheeled, light commercial vehicles that were introduced in 1948. The Ape, which means "bee" in Italian, features a single wheel in the front, and two wheels in the back.

With low running costs, versatile functionality and an ability to manoeuvre with ease in congested cities, narrow streets and tight parking spaces, the Ape hits the spot for a huge range of businesses. All Piaggio Ape vehicles come with an official Piaggio 2-year warranty.
The Piaggio Ape, pronounced “ah-peh” (Italian for “bee”), boasts a unique design that combines a scooter front end with a cargo bed at the back, making it perfect for urban transport and small-scale deliveries.
The Ape E-City three-wheeler is powered by an electric motor that has been thoroughly tested and certified, as well as a Lithium lon, 48V battery pack. This setup allows the vehicle to produce a maximum torque of 29 Nm and a peak output of 5.44 kW at 3500 rpm.
The first Ape retains all the fundamental characteristics of the Vespa — albeit in a three-wheeled structure — as well as the front section of course, and the 125cc engine that, as of 1948, would also equip the Piaggio scooter, originally presented with a 98cc engine. The price tag is 170,000 lire.
Today, the Piaggio Ape is available in three different models. The Ape 50 still has a 50cc two-stroke single-cylinder engine. With only 3 hp and 2 lb-ft, its top speed is only 24 mph. However, whether it has a truck bed or a van body, it’s classified as a moped, so licensing and ownership is easier.
The Piaggio Ape 50 is in a league of its own with its standout retro Italian panache, compact dimensions, agility and fuel economy. Also available as an electric vehicle as the Ape 50 Electric. Tel: 01482 878685
