Description
An Piaggio Ape in Palermo, Sicily, Italy.
The Piaggio Ape is a three-wheeled light commercial vehicle based on a vespa scooter produced since 1948 by Piaggio.
The vehicles come in various configurations such as vans and pickups for load carrying (popular with postal administration in some countries) and an autorickshaw for human transportation (Tukxi). More recently Piaggio have made lifestyle models such as the Ape Cross Country and the Ape Web aimed at the young. The Ape is also commonly used as a promotion tool, with advertising signboards mounted in the load bay. The Ape's unusual looks can help draw attention to a brand or business.
The Ape is a common sight in Italy where its compact size allows it to negotiate narrow city streets and park virtually anywhere. In small southern villages, it is also often seen at the roadside where the load area is used as an impromptu market stall by farmers. (Description from Wikipedia)
