Re: When cars are too expensive
We call them Rosalie or Cuistax in French, and Gowes in Indonesian. Check out these, people have actually fun to rent and ride them, around the Sultan's palace ! It has become a good little business, affordable stuff and quick small money to be done. Well, at 60.000 rp (4 $) for a car with 15 mn ride, and no fuel to refill, it's actually a good business, best at night, fresh cycling with funny lights. I suspect they would love it here, all around Koh Pich and Independence Mon.explorer wrote: ↑Fri Nov 01, 2019 5:56 pm If you want to be environmentally friendly and not use fuel at all.
I have thought about making something like this, but I probably never will. You could make it pedal with electric assist, and the roof could be solar panels.
You could even make it with a back seat, and a space for luggage, and call it an environmentally friendly alternative to a tuk tuk.
Slo-mo traffic though.
I guess it allows the cars-non-owners to get a glimpse of the good life, blocking the SUVs, driving a big shiny thinggy around the top-spot, with friends and girlfriends....It's actually a smart idea, because you can also chat your bird and more, see and be seen around, just like big cars/bike owners showing-off.
Fresh wind, cheap copycat of the elites, without the seriousness and drama.

Can't, won't come back.
The vid is from the place i will still go, in Java.
The first take it all. Got to make 100 units straightaway.
Explorer maybe, since he talked about it first ?
Anyway, i'm more like a kind of guy.

Re: When cars are too expensive
Find the right local biz partner..
- maybe a bright, young, outside the box, first daughter studying marketing at RUPP
with a boyfriend in unconventional engineering and a rich daddy.
But yeah, it is probably too late,
they would need to be more like cheap, eco-friendly, solar and pedal powered Hummers to survive on the roads these days.
