This is our 2023 Piaggio Ape. We call her Large Marge, or Margie for short, and she is as cute as can be. She's available to hire to add fun and flair to events and parties in the San Francisco Bay Area!
What is a Piaggio Ape?
It's a three-wheeled commercial vehicle, first produced after WWII in Italy by the same company that makes Vespas. Ape (ahh-pay) means bee in Italian! In Italy, they are work vehicles, used for hauling in villages with narrow roads or on farms. In Asia, they're used as a rickshaw. If you've been to either place, chances are you've seen one of these work vehicles buzzing around. Marge is lightweight and has a bit of torque to get up hills. Her top speed is about 35 MPH and she has handlebars with a clutch and gears instead of steering wheel.
About Marge
Marge is equipped with display space and a small refrigerator. She's perfect for serving foods like cheese, desserts, and beverages! She makes a great candy bar or tea trolley, but cheese boards are her favorite. She makes a great display for a cake or guest book and she looks great with flowers and twinkle lights.
