ARI is different - simple. different. electric.
A real eye-catcher with retro charm: the ARI 345 Retro combines the design of the legendary Piaggio Ape with modern electric mobility. The agile and economical cargo moped was specially developed for inner-city use - ideal for delivery services, tradespeople, service providers and, thanks to its eye-catching appearance, also perfect for caterers or trade fair appearances.
Both versions can be ridden by young people with an AM driving license and combine the airy riding experience of a scooter with the functionality of a van. The ARI 345 Retro is available with either an open cab without doors or a closed cab with one door. The body is available as a flatbed or with a box body and offers a payload of up to 325 kg.
Thanks to its compact dimensions and versatile body variants, the ARI 345 Retro is also ideal as a mobile sales stand, food truck or promotional vehicle. All superstructures are available in different sizes to adapt the vehicle perfectly to individual requirements.
Low purchase price
The nimble and maneuverable ARI 345 retro cargo trike impresses with its low purchase price.
Low operating costs
Even after purchase, the cargo mopeds are very inexpensive to maintain. The vehicles are tax-exempt until 2030. The operating costs per 100 kilometers for the ARI 345 cargo moped are just around 1.70 euros with an electricity price of 30 cents per kWh. In addition, favorable insurance rates are available through our partners.
Many funding opportunities
The ARI Motors electric vehicles are subsidized by many countries of the world or in their federal states and municipalities. In this way, the low purchase prices can be subsidized again with several thousand euros. Please check the subsidies for electric mobility in your region or contact us for more information.
