Piaggio Ape City Fi '20 | Bite Test
Вставка
- Опубліковано 12 вер 2024
- This type of vehicle has many names: ‘Tuk-Tuk’ in Thailand, ‘Auto Rickshaws’ in India, ‘San Lun Che’ in China, or in the Philippines simply called a ‘Tricycle.’
But I call them ‘Tricycle Alternative Vehicles’ since they are completely different compared to the usual side-car style ‘Tricycles.’
One of the pioneers of this genre is from the Italian brand Piaggio, yup aside from their namesake scooter line like the MP3, and the highly popular Vespa line they also build the Apé all the way since 1948!
The one we have here is the Indian-spec 200cc petrol City Fi variant, in Europe Piaggio still sells the Apé Calessino Cabrio! Piaggio also sells the larger Apé Xtra 400cc Diesel!
Since this is my first ever time riding a vehicle like this, how will I cope up riding a Tuk-Tuk or TAV!?
Maybe after riding/driving this, I may be proficient enough to ride any old Vespas! See how I react stupidly here!

such a simple design.
Sarao Motors and Francisco Motors missed out on the opportunity to copy it.
Now the Ph must import it!
Back in the '80s and early '90s, many smaller Jeepney manufacturers in the provinces were building high-capacity short wheelbase owner-type jeeps that seat 8-10 passengers!
Norkis should've done this in the '90s when they still had the Yamaha connection, while they were building their own re-bodied fiberglass MultiCabs. Such a missed opportunity!
Thank you for watching!
Gasoline Variant is much Sleeker.Diesel version is More Bigger n has a Back Compartment.But it's very Noisy like a Generator!
To each his/her own.
I haven't ridden the Diesel yet, but I'm so curious on how does it ride/drive!
In my opinion, I would think that the Diesel is a more practical option simply because of its flexibility.
If you think that the Diesel sounds like a generator, ride the Motoposh Pinoy-6/9, that thing is kinda loud even for auto rickshaw standards!
Thank you for watching!
Thanks for sharing your video brother and for the info on this trike very useful
You're very welcome!
Thank you very much for watching! It was a fun experience!
Cool! I like the diesel piagio ape city someday.
You will get one one day!
Thank you for watching!
Piaagio deisel is noisy
@@shamgarmysterion8413
But it has better torque compared to the Ape City.
good content! quality review!
Thank you!
I am facing engine start up problem and my CDI Unit wires are disconnected, can you help the appropriate piaggio electrical wiring cdi to pick up, cdi to ignition coil. Which pins can use for the Piaggio Ape City
I'm sorry about what happened to your bike and apologize for the late reply.
Unfortunately, I may not be able to help you on that front.
You might need to contact Piaggio PH to address your issue. Links are in the description.
Thank you for watching!
Is the diesel version much noisier? or about the same?
Unfortunately, I never got to try the Ape Xtra just yet.
Maybe one day I get to ride the diesel model in the near future.
Thank you for watching!
Im a First Time 3 Wheel Buyer. Those Top 3 Wheel from India has almost the same price range of 180k .What Brand Can you Recommend???
The best way is to test ride/drive them all. So you can determine what is the best for your needs.
The problem is that not all places are willing to let you drive these vehicles, which totally sucks!
I haven't ride/drive all of them to justify my conclusions entirely. Out of 6-8 within the class, I have only "Bite Tested" two. Take note, I didn't drive/ride them for more than 30 mins!!!
Thank you for watching.

Sana meron bataan mariveles dami pong toda at motor dito slmt po
I bet baka in the near future. Dahil ang gobyerno natin are not fully supportive to local industries like Jeepneys, Owner-Type, & Tricycles.
Salamat sa pagtangkilik!
Is this for city use only my family lives out in the country
I would think this is for provinces/country sides.
Take note. Like traditional tricycles, these are low-speed vehicles. Some provinces restrict these vehicles to be used on National Highways.
u forgot to mention the price....

60,speed lang ito sir?
Pasensya na ho, hindi ko pa nasusubukan ang top speed niya.
Someday kung may pagkakataon na pahiramin ako isa sa mga unit nila, baka subukan ko.
Salamat sa pagunawa!
Magkano ung diesel nito boss
Nasa description yun presyo Sir.
sir bakit ang aking unit na piaggio ape city na f i lumalabas ang oil sa briter sana matolungan po ninyo ako
Tumawag ho kayo sa AutoHub.
Reviewer lng ho ako!
Salamat ho!
wala ako no: auto hub
@@marymanalon6721
Nasa description ng video ho.
Sorry for the late reply.
Pwede na to Sa city? Parang mabagal
Ang performance niya ay parang traditional na 'Pantra' Tricycles. At hindi daw pwede sa EDSA nyan. Pero, 'Bite Test' lamang itong video nato, kaya hindi ko siya maisagad pa. Kung mabigyan ako ng pagkakataon 'i-Taste Test' itong Ape, doon lamang ako makakasiguro sa performance niya.
Salamat sa pagpapanood!
Sir just want to know the legality of this unit.. Pwede ba sa hiway yan
In the Philippines, any 'rickshaws' are lumped under the same class as any 'pantra' tricycles. So this Piaggio Ape, TVS King, Bajaj RE, Motoposh Pnoy, etc. may have limited PH highway access. And since most of these 'tricycle alternative vehicles' are powered by either 150-200cc, tollways are out of the question.
Salamat sa pagtangkilik!
@@Tocino_Wheels so sad bakit nasabi pang matalino mga pilipino pero ang mga nasa gobyerno hindi nila maisip na ang ganitong klaseng sasakyan ang dapat gamitin ng maraming pinoy dahil matipid safer and more comfortable than motorcycle wiht sidecar..
@@ferdiehipol Unfortunately, the PH gov't lacks the foresight that will benefit the masses. They don't even listen to their delegates, just their sip-sip na mga tauhan. Tapos dagdagan mo pa ang mga bulsa nila.
I don't advocate replacing one type of tricycle over the other (like jeepneys/PUJs). All the 'pantras' need to do is to install reflectors (front/rear) & right-side mirrors on their cabs as a start.
Believe it or not, the performance of both 'pantras' & 'TAVs' are quite similar! Pantras are lighter, but have a lower displacement engines; while the TAVs runs a larger engine size, yet carries heavier frames & chassis.

Paano makakakuha Ng ape city diesel
Hindi ako sigurado kung nasa market pa yun Ape Diesel.
Pero pwede mong itanong sa Piaggio PH sa description ko below the video.
Salamat sa pagtangkilik!
okey batalaga ang hand ling nyan hindi ba mabigat ang manibela
Ok naman ang handling niya for a enclosed trike.
Of course mas-magaan ang manibela/handlebar ng traditional na Pantra. Kaso isipin mo na, mas protektado ka sa mga elemento kumpara sa mga Pantra.
Salamat sa pagtankilik!
Sir saan ang location dito sa SPC ng Piaggio show room?
Mga detalye ay nasa FB page nila:

Salamat!
If Piaggio Ape City FI was Tuk-Tuk called "Bajaj RE"
The Piaggio Ape has been around since after WW2 in 1946, while the Bajaj RE didn't show up until in the early-'70s.
In fact, back in the early days of Bajaj, they were building (Piaggio) Vespa's under license at some point.
So yeah, the RE is basically an inspiration from the Ape.
Thank you for watching!
How much?
It's on the description, thank you.
Looks like Piaggio has dropped their prices on all models.
That's good news for potential buyers!
As this review was uploaded 2 years ago.
Thank you for watching!
Will it run if i go into the country
What do you mean?
My family lives off the main high way some of the roads are a little rough tricyles or 3 wheelers do ok will this do as well as a 125 with a side car
@@vicellison3147
Unfortunately, I was never given the chance to ride this trike long distance.
The best way to ask are the drivers of these vehicles themselves, there are many in the Tagaytay area with their yellow-themed cabs.
@@Tocino_Wheels wellmy family lives out in the country some of the roads are just dirt and a little rough and bumpy thats why i ask
@@vicellison3147
I bet it can handle the rough stuff, just change the tires to a more capable ones to handle mud and sand. Also, there are some lift kits you can install too, I don't know how popular are they.
Unlike the typical Tricycles on which is one-wheel-drive, these TAVs are 2WD, that equals to more traction.
These 'Tricycle Alternative Vehicles' are extensively developed in India, they have far more rougher roads in a 10km radius than Philippines.
Nice nsa vlog ako hehe
Haha! Sensya na! Salamat!
Wow ape city look like suzuki alto
LoL.
Thank you for watching!
Will they change the ugly noise and make a decent sound? Its owners and engineers are ignorant and absurd people. Even if you see it parked somewhere, I feel like spitting on it. I hate it so much. I didn't mean its drivers. Its their livelihood. But why do they manufacture such a loud noise and drop the silencer without studying it properly?
Good point, most people don't know how to be considerating towards other people.
This doesn't only applies to auto rickshaws/tricycle alternative vehicles, but also cars, motorcycles, scooters, etc...
My take is that, if you're going to go loud...at least make it sound nice. Unfortunately, most people don't think that way, they just want attention.
Thank you for watching.
@@Tocino_Wheels let me also speak about some others, such are just trivial and curious people seeking the pleasure of their stupid riding habit and getting some kind of relief from provoking others. I mean there are idiots who blow silencers to make loud noises as their vehicle emits music. Weird.
Try mo rin tvs king and bajaj re
Kung may pagkakataon. Salamat sa pagpapanood!
boss tagalog na lng mas maganda pa
Baka next time, kung papayagan nila ako muli.
Salamat!
