Origin
In the 1930s, Japan, which became the most industrialized USA in East Asia at the time, recommended the improvement of automated cars along with less luxurious three-wheeled cars based primarily on motorcycles. The Mazda-Go, the open, three-wheeled "truck" launched in 1931, is often considered a priority converting to a motorized ATV. Later that decade, Japan's Ministry of Posts and Communications distributed nearly 20,000 3-wheeled vehicles in Southeast Asia as part of efforts to expand them to have an impact within the region.
Italy
Rickshaws have been in common use in Italy since the late 1940s, providing a low-cost means of transportation in the post-WWII years when the country lacked economic resources. The Piaggio Ape was designed by the creator of Vespa Corradino D'Ascanio and was first manufactured in 1948 by the Italian company Piaggio, although it was primarily designed for the transport of goods, it was also widely used as a wheelbarrow.
Still very popular throughout the country, they are especially useful in the narrow streets found in the middle of many small towns in central and southern Italy.
Although it no longer plays a major role in transportation, Piaggio Ape is still used as a minitaxi in some areas such as the islands of Ischia and Stromboli.
It has recently been relaunched as a fashionable ecological transport, or, drawing on the role the monkey has played in Italian design history, as a promotional tool. Since 2006, the monkey has been produced under license in India.
