Hello there!

It’s me, Emily, owner of the Third wheel.

it was december 2020 when my idea became a reality. we purchased our first piaggio ape. sadly, it was completely wrecked in transport and we were at a total loss and completely heartbroken.

fast forward to april 2021, and we were fortunate enough to purchase another ape. nearly a year later, we were able to have this green beauty custom built and ready to roll.

this business has been such a passion for me, with my background and education in hospitality and tourism management (go lakers!). I’ve always had the desire to dive into the industry further, so i decided to pursue and obtain my MBA to learn more about entrepreneurship. i knew i wanted something for myself by me. hence how the third wheel was born.

i’m so thrilled and honored to have the ability to be a part of your event. know that i put so much time, effort, and love into this business, the entire process, and most importantly - creating a memorable service for you.

What is a Piaggio Ape?

A Piaggio ape (ah-pay) is from the same italian brand as the vespa scooter. Ape translates to bee, and they live up to their reputation as the worker bee’s that they are.

with the ability to haul a decent capacity, and fit through the winding streets of italy, these babies are tough, versatile, and pretty darn cute!
