Custom Piaggio Ape Conversions
Small footprint. Unforgettable presence.
Bring a little Italian character to your next business idea. A custom Piaggio Ape makes an inviting mobile bar, tap truck or boutique—equally at home at a wedding, a resort or a brand event.
The Hudson Trailer Company builds each conversion around your concept, with custom finishes, display space or beverage service equipment that makes this distinctive three-wheeler your own.
Projects start at $45,000, before equipment and design.
A mobile bar that becomes part of the occasion.
Some bars serve the event. This one helps set the scene.
With its compact proportions and unmistakable cab, a Piaggio Ape creates a natural gathering point without taking over the space. Serve draft beer, wine, cocktails or non-alcoholic drinks from a setup designed to complement your business.
For mobile bar owners, venues and hospitality brands, it’s a memorable way to bring beverage service closer to guests.
Make every detail feel like your brand.
Choose the colors, finishes, lighting and details that give your Piaggio Ape its identity. Custom shelving, storage and service features bring the look together while making practical use of the available space.
Create a polished wedding bar, a colorful festival attraction or a branded vehicle for product launches and private events.
The possibilities extend beyond drinks. The Hudson Trailer Company also built a Piaggio Ape mobile boutique for Ladurée, showing how this compact vehicle can become a distinctive retail experience.
Up to eight taps. A setup that suits your service.
A Piaggio Ape can accommodate up to eight draft taps, depending on the layout and cooling equipment.
An ice-and-cooling-bag arrangement leaves more room for kegs and taps. A kegerator is another option, with the available space determining the tap count. Nitro and glycol systems are also available.
We’ll help you choose a configuration around your drink selection and the way you plan to serve.
Gas or electric. Custom either way.
The Hudson Trailer Company builds on both gas and electric Piaggio Apes.
We’ll discuss the vehicle alongside your intended use, service setup and event logistics so the finished conversion fits your operation.
Piaggio Apes are commonly transported to events by trailer and positioned on site for service. If driving between locations is central to your business, explore our mini trucks as another option.
A distinctive addition to your business.
A Piaggio Ape can become:
- A mobile wedding and private-event bar.
- A draft beverage station for a hotel, resort or venue.
- A branded centerpiece for corporate events and product launches.
- A compact retail boutique or promotional display.
- A festival or market attraction with a focused beverage offering.
