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.
