Who wants to volunteer for the hill climb? Although I think that going down hill will be quite an adrenaline rush.

In the link I think that I can see the line of a retained the club door.

My favorite part of this photo is how the other rickshaw driver is looking at the MINI rickshaw

But boy, how much harder does the MINI rickshaw driver have to work!!!

Sorry but I don't see why anyone should believe anything on a website that says: "The body of the Clubman is from Germany (although we thought they were to be made in Austria?)"

Real Deal. It is marketing created by Beijing China. Smart too.

I just saw this on another site. That would suck to have to pull a 990 lb. rickshaw around. Looks cool though.

I agree. The bike part looks like it only has one gear. I would not want to go over even the slightest hill.
