Our customers’ opinions
All of the comments have been posted with the permission of their respective authors.
Below are some of the comments left online by our customers.
Our customers’ 10 most frequently asked questions
1. What is the main difference between the Ape V-Curve and the Ape Smart / V-Smart models?
The main difference lies in the way they are used:
- Ape V-Curve: allows the operator to work on board, inside the vehicle, and features a lifting roof;
- Ape Smart / V-Smart: is designed for operators who work from the ground, serving customers from outside the vehicle. It can be opened on three sides.
2. If I bring you a vehicle I already own, can you convert it?
To check whether a vehicle can be converted, we need three things:
- photos and/or videos showing the vehicle in its current condition;
- a copy of the vehicle registration document;
- a description of the desired interior and exterior setup, together with the type of business you would like to start.
Our technicians will then assess the feasibility of the conversion. If the vehicle is suitable, we will prepare a dedicated quotation for you.
3. How does the Piaggio Porter compare with the Ape in terms of functionality and size?
The Piaggio Porter is a larger and more functional vehicle than the Ape.
In terms of size and capacity, it is only about 40 cm longer than the Ape, but it allows two or three people to work inside. By contrast, the Ape can be driven by one person only and, in the V-Curve version, can accommodate no more than two people.
The Porter also offers additional functionality: unlike the Ape Classic models, it can tow a small trailer.
4. Does the company sell used vehicles and food trucks?
The company mainly builds new, fully customizable vehicles. Occasionally, used vehicles may be available in stock. The used-vehicle section of the website is not always up to date, as these vehicles are often sold quickly. We therefore recommend contacting us by email to check current availability.
5. How long does it take to build a new food truck?
Production times are generally around 4 to 5 months from the order date for Ape, Porter and truck models. For trailers, production times may be up to approximately 6 months.
6. Are the vehicles customizable? Do you have a standard price list?
All vehicles are fully customizable. There is no catalogue with a standard price list, because each vehicle is custom-built according to the client’s requirements and the desired setup.
7. Do you have food trucks and vehicles available for rent?
VS offers an automated rental service, with a minimum rental period of one week and a maximum of six months. Availability and rates can be checked in the dedicated rental section of the website.
8. What engine options are available for the Ape models?
The Ape models — V-Curve and Smart / V-Smart — are offered in diesel and electric versions. However, there have recently been indications that the electric Ape may not currently be available, and that the company may only be able to build diesel Ape models at this time. Please contact us for confirmation.
9. What is the Ape TR and what is it used for?
The Ape TR is an engineless Ape model patented by VS Veicoli Speciali. It is specifically designed to be used as a fixed workstation in public or private locations such as shopping centres, airports, hotels or museums, where its engineless configuration offers clear placement advantages. It can also be transported over long distances when loaded onto a trailer.
10. Is the Piaggio Ape approved for towing trailers?
No. The model we work with, the Ape Classic, is not officially approved for towing. No, the Ape Classic model is not officially approved for towing. For this reason, the company does not supply the Ape with a tow hook. As an alternative, we recommend the Piaggio Porter for customers who require towing capacity.
