1968 1968 piaggio ape 500 piaggio ape 500 1968 175cc. the piaggio ape (pronounced ""ah-peh"" - italian for bee, vespa meaning ""wasp"") is a three-wheeled light commercial vehicle built by piaggio. the ape was first built in 1948. the vehicles comes in various configurations such as van, pickup and autorickshaw (tuk-tuk). the ape is produced in india by piaggio india, and a similar vehicle is manufactured by bajaj auto. the ape is a common sight in italy where its compact size allows it to navigate narrow city streets and park virtually anywhere. it's also often seen at the roadside where the load area is used as an impromptu market stall by farmers. the first apes were essentially 125cc or 150cc and more recently 175cc vespa scooters fitted with twin rear wheels and a load platform above them. later models added a cab around the driver. performance is suited to the job, with good torque for hills, but a low top speed (irrelevant in cities), and apes are customarily driven as close as possible to the curb to allow traffic to pass.
