Allrounder Posted June 4, 2018 Share I heard that they are very light on fuel, but top speed is something like 70? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hairy Posted June 4, 2018 Share Does this count? Oh, it’s a diesel! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalkflipping cool! they tried to get a tuk-tuk taxi thing going in CT, but the guys could not get permits, so they accepted "donations" instead. I had to get to the top of town fast with my bicycle to a meeting and one of these pulled up next to me at the traffic lights, we struck a deal and both the bike and I were blitzed to the site meeting in a flash. Now I really like these little guys and would actually not mind one ... just for the fun of it. How do they handle, or are they just simply death traps?

sawystertrance Posted June 4, 2018 Share I hated those tuk tuk things in Sea Point. They would sneak up the side of a queue of traffic to the front, then cut in when the light went green, and then hare off - at their top speed of 20km/h, causing a long delay. Great in principle but with our drivers and rules, no-no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They handle ok with a little load at the back, not so well empty (They have an 800kg payload max) This one has a coffee machine, water, pumps, grinder etc etc so not exactly a circuit racer!
