Ape Piaggio and Deus give life to The Ganzo

The Ganzo – From the union of the traditional and unmistakable lines of Ape Piaggio and by the style of DEUS, is born The Ganzo, a customization that wanted to enhance the vintage beauty and functionality of the world-famous three-wheeler by transforming it into a mobile assistance point with timeless charm.

The Ganzo: what is it

The Ganzo evokes the Tuscan exclamation that it already aroused near Pontedera where, after being personalized with hand-painted lettering, it ran around the Piaggio Museum to create the launch video. He was born to be the protagonist of the Deus Cyclewine stages, the wine-sports event dedicated to lovers of vintage bikes and more. Made in unique places and in the most important cellars in the world, Deus Cyclewine made its debut in the renowned winery that produces Sassicaia and continued in the largest estate in the Veneto, Borgoluce. The Ganzo accompanied the participants and their vehicles along the route, showing surprising style and versatility. The starting point is the Ape Classic 450 cc 4-stroke, 2-valve Diesel which Deus transformed by reconstructing the body part, lengthening it by 90 cm, equipping it with a wooden platform with quick supports for transporting bikes, and creating a storage locker. tools. Inside, the pigeon's blood colored seats stand out, a typical color of 60s sports cars, and the dashboard has also been completely replaced with vintage car instruments.

The front part of the cab has been cleaned and brought back to the essentiality of the '62 Ape Classic of which our The Ganzo sports the single central headlight and the mudguard. There is no shortage of "cool" details such as the racing red front shock absorber. The customization work inspired the creation of classic pieces of workwear iconography, which gave life to the Deus Cycleworks+Ape capsule collection, available at the Deus Store in Milan and online on the website ape.deuscustoms.com. The limited edition collection was created in raw denim with garage-style customizations, thanks to Deus and Ape patches applied on the work overalls and on the workshop shirt. The t-shirt and cap could not be missing, iconic pieces in the Deus collections. The Dad Cap evokes the style of the authentic Ape "pilots" of the past while the t-shirt has essential graphics that illustrate the synergy of the two brands. The hand-drawn steel Tool Box is the accessory that completes the garage proposal by offering an authentic mechanic's kit.
