As an Italian, I can assure this is the average English skill out here. I have to point out though, I believe they misheard.

Remember, yes is always a good answer.

Reliant robin is brilliant too

I also have Piaggio Ape. Can run 65km/h on highway. Multipurpose vehicle, saves more gas that driving 4cyl cars and it can carry more stuff on flatbed.

+Raphael Orlove "What year is it?" "YES!"

+Raphael Orlove Hahaha, also the year is 71 not 77

+Raphael Orlove HAHA! How about *ITALIAN STYLE*!!!!

+Raphael Orlove Wow Raphael. Great moves. Keep it up. Proud of you.

find on google "piaggio ape TUNING"

appelpower1 I want to see one of these square off against an ae86

that's just fucking funny.

Is there anything that moves (and can be controlled) that people don't race?

I'm collecting old jeans to make chair covers. A lot of people throw couches away because the upholstering has gone bad (think of leather) but some have perfectly fine filling (probably they were very expensive at some point) so my idea is to just redo those with a buch of old jeans.

It`s not that easy ,buth good luck ! If yo going into antiks -cars ,you have to know howe to do it to get it right .I am retired pensioner nowe adays !

I generally figure stuff out by doing it by experimentation and googling. Being an artist helps, it's my way into doing anything I fancy. ;)

***** It's in the family jeans.

+jhowe427 its a leaf blower

+ilikepie1974 Perhaps literally, given that it's just a little 2-stroke jobbie. They're not made for speed, just for tugging half a ton of potatoes five miles along the road somewhat faster than you could manage it by hand :D (and it's a step up from those put-put "2 wheel tractor" devices that work as a hand-steered self-propelled plough out in the field, then can have the blades taken off and a trailer hooked up instead to move stuff along at jogging pace ... the 50cc Ape can hit 40+ km/h on the flat when unladen after all... maybe as much as 80 for the hefty 220cc version...) Sort of like how you can make a go-kart with a lawnmower engine, and a ride-on mower bridges the gap in a more official capacity. You get a surprising amount of power out of a leafblower engine, or that of a ride-on mower. Don't let the speed mislead you, merely because it's geared real low doesn't mean it hasn't got any muscle. The one my dad used to have put out more power than my bike, but the latter can nudge 70mph whilst the former was tapped out somewhere south of 10mph...I do think he never got out of first or maybe second gear, though, and gassed it pretty hard. It was literally a quick 5-minute runaround. Cruising, it'd be a fair bit quieter. You don't hammer utility vehicles that hard if you want them to last, anyway. As little power and speed as you can reasonably get away with is key.

Uh ... ok ... that's mildly interesting, but why?

+jhowe427 Italy's got fuckin balls...making 1-cylinder leaf blower reliant robin minitrucks that last for WAY too fucking long and haul more than they should...and on that note, they translate to "bee" so nicely in the sense that they do said things so nicely when they simply should not be able to.

***** Tires are just like FUCKING MOVE and the one piston is like I...T...Y...N... .M..R....I...G Lmao

Alberto Combi lmao

+Mladen Milić There are 4-wheeled equivalents being used here in the UK now as well, I think they even have a Piaggio badge on though I could be wrong. Certainly based on some kind of European microcar. Even have a badge on the back saying they're limited to 45mph (70~75km/h) which strikes me as something I once heard of certain microcars / 3-wheel trucks being limited to. Box vans rather than flatbed but otherwise a similar idea, something small, cheap, and super economical that can be parked almost anywhere and fit down narrow alleyways in order to carry out a variety of low level maintenance jobs around the city from a central council-run base. Probably be converted to electric power before too long, but they seem to be using lawnmower engines at the moment from the exhaust sound. Never goes more than 30 miles from the home base, never covers more than maybe 100 miles in a day, and rarely goes on roads with a speed limit higher than 50mph (80km/h) for any significant distance (mainly 20-30mph instead), so no need to make it fast, or give it sporty handling, or even a massive load capacity...

+Raphael Orlove plese

+Raphael Orlove give me the dogs

Wuf

It also uses a handlebar as opposed to a steering wheel. It's basically a 3 wheel Vespa (shares the engine, handlebars, front wheel, etc.) with a flatbed.

+Frontality i have one to, they are pretty fun to drive :D. mine broke tho sow i replaced the crankshaft with a cnc turned straight shaft and put a 200cc 5hp b&S engine on it that revs to about 5500rpm. i thought the original two stroke engine made more revs than that sow i increased the rpm with a belt. its now way to fast, almost hits 25km/h in first gear... It still looks original from the inside and all the controls work like they used to before. it's nice but not ideal for my utility purposes i use the ape for.

+Frontality ... what'll she do, mister?

Whatever it is, I need it.

Maremma sheep dog :)

😂😂😂😂😂

Mine does 60 km/h

This was the smaller version, for so called Ape 50.

Sprouting crops are robust, Karen.

+mi lu Their camera probably didn't have a macro function.

+mi lu it has the same engine as the Vespa..

+tmanepic Just read the description, it's there.

It basically has the same kind of engine.

reliant robin too

Were not goldens! Pastore maremmano.

Unluckily nowadays you need a Licence to drive any Ape here in Italy The one Jason is driving, being a 150TM, you need like an A2 motorcycle licence, while with the smallest version, the Ape 50 (with 50cc engine) you need a Moped Licence

Aaron Feldman The Germans designed and built a vehicle much like this one right after WW2

From 1938 on you could buy the Goliath FW200/400, but it was a lot bigger than the Ape. After that there was the GD750 and from 1955-61 they sold the Goliath Goli. All of those were threewheelers, but especially the latter was huge compared to the Ape...

Not true, the Ape in Italy is still in production. The problem is that it was never Exported out of Italy. I've got the 50cc version with an illegal 130cc engine but it isn't such a nice "car" (in Italy is not considered a car), it's slow and noisy. Here the 50cc Ape can be driven since 14 yo. [Sry for bad English]

+Shay Lockie Thanks for posting that, although I really doubt they can ship to the US.

+Jeff DeWitt can still try.

+Jeff DeWitt oh, and this part "Because of the easy deterioration of the product, the meat is sold only directly in our store."

how many meters do your car whit 1 liter of petrol ?????? youst for speaking about Thermal performances.......

Neil Forbes it is a 2 stroke engine

+TheAwkwardBanana It looks like iPhone footage...

+computiNATEor an IPhone 3G maybe.

+Terry Dolan nah iPhone 3G couldn't even record video

If you didn't notice, they kinda didn't plan on driving it, they just kind of stumbled upon it and they let him drive it. If there was some kind of actual planning, they obviously would've set up microphones and camera mounts...

+Se7enAte That's how bad the footage was tbh
