The charming and practical speedster captured hearts almost 70 years ago and its unmistakable design quickly helped it achieve cult status. We are talking about the Ape ("bee" in Italian), the little sister of the Vespa. Piaggio launched it on the market just one year after the Vespa. Since then, the busy little bee has been available in countless variations: as a delivery vehicle, pizza delivery van, bakery on wheels, mobile ice cream parlor and much more.
