Thank you for posting the link to the great video, OG! 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.

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

Yeah, but a 200 Mototaxi is tempting...

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

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

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.
