Ape in Pakistan
Piaggio Vespa Auto Rickshaw P401AR Deluxe Instructions Manual - PAKISTAN - "T" has sent me these photos, I'm trying to get a good copy as well as an original from my contact in Pakistan and I'll post this Manual on our website when available. "T" has had some problems with the front brake which doesn't act smoothly when applied, he's even had the brake drum turned but that didn't help. I know there are adjusters on the rear brakes and there must be as well on the front and I'm wondering if they're not properly adjusted. Ken

Re: api di ken
I do know Oriental manufacturers, especially the Chinese have moved into the India market in a big way and that includes Pakistan. Lots of new offerings by local companies who assemble CKD (completely knocked down) machines and then market them in their own name. I wonder what will come out of the Piaggio joint venture with a Chinese firm. The similarities in the style of the machines give it away. - There have been lots of new offerings in Pakistan but what's funny is the cabin body stampings quite often include the depression for the Piaggio badge on the front and they use either the P601 or the P501 front fenders which are made locally. The offerings are with 4stroke motors LPG and CNG - Ken

Re: api di ken
P501 Vespacar Owners Handbook in Espanol is now available for download on my website. That would be me in my Shop - I've started importing Sunshades from Pakistan as used on their P401AR/P501AR's - In Pakistan they don't have electrical windshield wiper motors, instead they use a lever with spring attached to the wiper arm. You can see this lever in the last photo on the right. - Ken

A P401 autorickshaw on Pakistan Day celebrations in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Looks like it needs some parts. Here's more photos of it at the owners Restaurant in Toronto. Ken

Re: api di ken
There are 197 people per square km and I think the majority are poor. They make do with the turmoil which surrounds them. Many, many P401's. The overturned one runs on CNG. - Ken

Re: api di ken
Here is a P401 in Pakistan. Here we worry about being able to see behind the Ape with our rear view mirrors, this chap seems more interested in being able to see through the back. Don't know whether he's interested in the passengers or perhaps the streets are so crowded he kept getting his mirrors knocked off! - Ken

Re: Ape Piaggio, foto di fabbrica e storiche
Advertisement included plenty of NOS parts that I can't find so yes, there are doubts. However, much prettier than the P401's running around. Love to see the front end of this one, also in Pakistan, but it's probably a Bajaj. Ken
