That's fantastic! Loved how they were hangin' in the turns. :D

Thank you for posting the link to the great video, OG! :D I enjoyed watching the mototaxis very much. :) Thank you for adding your unique cultural perspective to our forums. We very much enjoy having you here with us. :D

Spud :)

I found this. A new type of china bike touring.

That looks like good fun. The vid was hilarious! :lol:

I'd rather take that junket with either my 200cc Zong, or my 650cc Honda, rather than the 125cc, Lifan Mototaxi! 8O

Spud :lol:

Yeah, but a 200 Mototaxi is tempting... :lol:

Even with a 200cc engine, I think the sofa, et cetera, adds a lot of weight, and saps the power. :roll:

I think a 350 honda would be the ticket. Maybe a 440 snowmobile engine. 8O

I think the mototaxis are a wonderful idea in Lima. :) However, I wouldn't employ a mototaxi, with any size engine, for adventure touring along the Amazon! 8O

Great link katoranger, these guys are going to be in Puno on May 7...might head up that way. Thanks again

Give us an update. I think a mototaxi would be fun. Should get one for my Dad. Most of his trips are short and under 30 MPH.

I'm completely onboard with Allen; please do give us an update on the mototaxi adventure, OG! :D

Spud :)

I'm on my Versys, crossing back into Peru from Chile tomorrow, should be able to Puno for the start of the mototaxi event.
