interesting site for the second wave to the future.
They appear to offer more models than the Bajaj which has three which are a
good selection.
They are building with somewhat larger motors and aswell options for LPG.
Also larger wheels are being offered which would make them more terrain
friendly than what I'm driving. They call Santa Cruz surf city though i
always mention chuck hole city hoping the city will get the point.
And they come with a std tyranny or automatic for and additional $1000.
Also doors are available for most models.
Now the down side is no distribution network or service facilities. In fact
though they 'seem' to be dot approved they are a ways from us seeing them
being offered with the option of financing and insurance.
I like my Bajaj Autorickshaw and so does my dog. BUT i am continually
looking for a reliable repair person in my area. The Bajaj trykes don't seem
that complicated to me but the mechanics seem too only want to work on what
they are selling. And I'm sure the Tuk Tuk will have this problem aswell.
But the price of fuel and our concern for planet will win out at some point
or we will either go broke or choke on the big guys fumes.
