Well, to get to metric you double it and add 30, so to get back from metric you have to subtract 30 and then halve it. So 80 keelo-meeters, that's 25 miles an hour!
The Ape for food delivery is probably as alien a solution to the American idea of eating as the occasional Burger King is to a European inner city.
Fixed that to make it into a poor analogy! ;)
Cool little scooter, I've seen ones similar to this in some of the mountainous Mediterranean villages where even the Fiat 500 has trouble negotiating city streets. Definitely a solid solution!
OMG. I think I want one of these more than the yellow Mini Scandinavian Flick posted. Besides, it's got to get roughly 9.6 billion miles to the gallon!
Peter lives the life I dream of. London, Villa d'Este, or Budapest. F1, Concours d'Elegance, or a Stipistop Ape. Hot talented photog wife by his side and a glorious head of Lyle Lovett locks to be proud of.
On this Memorial Day weekend Friday afternoon, Peter Orosz, I salute you.
@DrewPlastersWalls2: I reply with a face glowing cherry red. And with a quote from my friend Nino, who first hired me as a car hack after a life of studying medicine and working in a boiler room. This he said in his souped-up drift Nissan: "The motoring journalist is the king of the world."
In Hungarian, this would be: "Az autós újságíró az élet császára."
I think you got that wrong. Europe is the socialistic paradise, very high taxes and hairy armpits, at least in mediterranean countries. And yes, this ridiculous Vespa nobody uses because it's a stupid idea like the segway for two people.
There was a time they use to sell a very small van with FOUR wheels made by Suzuki and rebranded GM in some european markets. Many of them are still around because of the size. Most of them being used in pick-up format to carry glass and windows.

Anything faster than 30 in that thing probably feels like spitting in Death's eye. Ain't gonna do it, nope nope nope.

Amongst a host of other reasons which outweigh things like ridiculous taxes, hairy armpits and socialists.
