Wonder how much rego etc you would have to pay for that these days??

[Greynomad]

I wouldn't like to ride pillion in the rain... no mudguards!

[Dot]

Would that have an exhaust and if so where would it be?

[bagmaker]

if the injin puts out less than 200watts it should be exempt from Australian reg

[Chuck]

Could that be classified as the first ever semi trailer...

Dot... mine would be directly under the seat !

In Adelaide there is a company started up with lithium power assisted pedal trike/rickshaw, complete with canopy and 2 people seating in the passenger area and they also do small parcel within the city courier work as well. We had a tour through their workshop and a talk delivered by their young CEO, quite a clever and well organised affair and very popular all yr round.

Hi T1 I gather you meant a "Trishaw" which is a tricycle based mode of transport, mainly used in SE Asia, Rickshaws, which are almost extinct now, was a small two wheeled cart propelled by a person, usually of native descent, running between the shafts, he was normally built something like a match with the wood scraped off, I think it would be rather difficult to increase his power or speed with a lithium battery, unless you were using it to power a cattle prod.

We've got lifepo4 powered mountain bikes, which fold up and are great for cruising round towns and areas when on the road.
