I appreciate your view as an owner giving us the real world information on these, thanks. Thinking of getting one of these new as a daily driver to run errands and put around in the PI, mostly for their usefulness, mod-ability, dependability, and low cost of ownership. I just cannot justify spending a mil or two on a car when I won't be going far or fast. Sure AC is nice, but I'm good with a breeze. And it's not like I will be making the drive from Houston to West Palm Beach... ever. I'm thinking one of these will do everything I need and do it well for 1.10th the price of a new car.
Just bought a Piaggio Ape gas model here in Bohol. Have nearly 1K km on it. So far it has been as expected. Runs well, has enough power and torque to climb hills and carry people. Mine is for private use here in the province as I need transport to get around locally. Much safer than having a motorcycle of any kind. Have a car for longer trips. It is worth the investment as far as I can see.
Another great review this time for your piaggio ape diesel... Thank you for sharing you opinion/experience with us much appreciated. Have a great day/Ned
You should change the side mirror position.. It shouldnt be kept like that... Just turn around the mirror towards inward. Outside front wind shield.. And it will be perfect like Indian auto
@@rickshawphilippines but hear in india I use to service my vehicle with local mechanic it self and way of servicing the vehicle is awesome and my vehicle is 2013 ,and still it's looking pretty new👌😂
I was wondering the same thing. The new Baja limited edition with the hard top is nice. Hard to beat the economy and dependability of the diesel though.
Nope bajaj 200cc 1cyl it's a gas hog, I tested all of them b4 I bought, piaggio the most stable. The models I test drove seemed prone to tipping, the piaggio was not
RickShaw Philippines I speak a little bit of Italian I’m sure you know Ape means Bee I guess the idea is you buzz around town making a lot of stops lol
@@rickshawphilippines Piaggio APE CITY is really my #1 Choice..I'm just having a Hard time looking for a Piaggio Dealer near us.unlike the Bajaj or TVS just look for a K Servico n Wheeltek stores.
Just found this old vid, I've been thinking of getting something like this. Does it need to be registered and do I need to have a licence. I am getting a Philippine license in the near future.
@@rickshawphilippines I got caught by the covid lockdowns and my Aussie license expired in November, (Was supposed to be back in Australia in April 2020 for a while) so jumping through the hoops getting a Philippine license
P180000 for ape city diesel, the diesel is much louder than the gas. Piaggio has come out with jeepney style that holds 8 in the back plus 2 up front next to driver
Im planning to buy one a 3 Wheeler. There are 3 well known brands now in the market BAJAJ, PIAGGIO APE n TVS. Can you Highly recommend PIAGGIO APE? Im planning to use it for service or Everyday use only. Tnx!
@@rickshawphilippines How about the Acceleration Power esp in Climbing? A TVS King user says it has More Power n Speed compared to the Piaggio Ape? But I dont mind.I will still buy the PIAGGIO APE.Im just undecided which Variant the 200 cc Gas or 400cc Noisy Diesel ??
@@battousaihimura816 yes the little one will out accelerate the ape, but not when both are full, the diesel is very efficient. And the ape is the most stable and the biggest
@@rickshawphilippines Im considering it since the PIAGGIO 200cc costs 180k. While the 400cc Diesel sells at 218 k. A 38k difference But Double the power at 400cc!.

Just a note, the gas model is quieter

They are great for emergency maneuvers there are very hard to tip
Thanks for the review I am planning to get one.myself. hoorah from.Bulacan
I tried every brand, this was the biggest, and less likely to flip over, very stable. Plus the diesel ships fuel...mine is for sale p125000
Another great review this time for your piaggio ape diesel... Thank you for sharing you opinion/experience with us much appreciated. Have a great day/Ned
Yes it was down for a bit, mech prob... glad we got it back running
@@rickshawphilippines 👍🎖👍
Thanks for sharing your video keep vlogging congrats and welcome here highly appreciated your review on a trike by diesel engine
Yeah they are really good buggys
Scotty is awesome. he just moved to Tennessee.
Yep saw that...
Wow that's a great interesting story
Thanks for that!
Agree the big vehicles are a pain to drive in PH.
Yes ez to get around in this & motorbikes rule! That is if ya need to get somewhere quick, fast & in a hurry!
You should change the side mirror position.. It shouldnt be kept like that... Just turn around the mirror towards inward. Outside front wind shield.. And it will be perfect like Indian auto
Cannot do, as rear is much wider than front. If I move them in I cannot see behind me
@@rickshawphilippines ohh okay... Then u have to drive very carefully ❤❤ love from nagaland india
Love from india 😍I also have ape Piaggio xtra ld an goods carrier
Very nice vehicle. But service sucks...
@@rickshawphilippines but hear in india I use to service my vehicle with local mechanic it self and way of servicing the vehicle is awesome and my vehicle is 2013 ,and still it's looking pretty new👌😂
@@rihanhameed317 I can do the work. It's just getting the parts that's the problem
@@rickshawphilippines isn't but in india whole part of this vehicle is available so there is no problem in india.
@@rihanhameed317 my friends pratim and ankush say parts everywhere there
I'm planning to buy a rickshaw... Would you recommend Piaggio, over Bajaj RE, and TVS? (these are the available models here in Ph)
Yes I tried them all, the diesel ape was the best for us, it's our little truck.
I was wondering the same thing. The new Baja limited edition with the hard top is nice. Hard to beat the economy and dependability of the diesel though.
Nice to see this
Very cheep to operate. And here reg as a passenger van. So no tricycle hassle
@@rickshawphilippines what area of the Philippines are you in?
Carmona cavite
@@rickshawphilippines I am in Mabalacat Pampanga
Not very far b4 house arrest. Now light years away. Hehehe
Hey Rick how would this compare to the Baja ? I think you said the Ape is one cylinder? I am pretty sure the Baja is twin
Nope bajaj 200cc 1cyl it's a gas hog, I tested all of them b4 I bought, piaggio the most stable. The models I test drove seemed prone to tipping, the piaggio was not
RickShaw Philippines I speak a little bit of Italian I’m sure you know Ape means Bee I guess the idea is you buzz around town making a lot of stops lol
Yep, bee. Great machines once you get used to their quirks
Currently the Baja is 200CC and the Piaggio is 230cc.
Piaghio diesel is 435cc
MAN, even if it's not Diesel, Would u still recommend the PIAGGIO APE CITY Over BAJAJ RE n TVS KING? I'm planning to Buy one nxt month.
Yes, just for the stability
We drove all of them, for us the piaggio was the most stable.plus its bigger although not as refined as the others
@@rickshawphilippines Piaggio APE CITY is really my #1 Choice..I'm just having a Hard time looking for a Piaggio Dealer near us.unlike the Bajaj or TVS just look for a K Servico n Wheeltek stores.
