These are mostly the familiar 150cc motorcycles outfitted with a two-wheel rear axle, and some kind of frame or enclosure.This yellow beauty is a taxi in Chingqing, which is a high altitude northwestern city, so it gets cold. I doubt if it has heat, but I&#8217;m sure that the hard shell makes for a much more comfortable ride than the more open configurations below.Both vehicles below were photographed (at night) in Dali. Dali is in a southern region, and is pretty temperate even in January when we were there. I&#8217;m not sure of the gearing, but the area there is quite hilly, and these bikes have very small engines.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/kk.org\/streetuse\/Kunming3wheelb.jpg\" height=\"313\" width=\"400\" border=\"1\" align=\"middle\" hspace=\"4\" vspace=\"4\" alt=\"Kunming3Wheelb\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Reader Bryan Lauas sent me a couple of links for 3-wheeled utility cycles.
