Another season and a new fleet of 20, London has gained another new breed of pedicabs. This offering comes from Columbia and is looking to make a corner in this multi national pedicab capital. I now have counted over 21 different models from nearly as many makers, each with there own idea of what makes the best pedicab & I shall endeavour to catch all the types in photos for our forum gallery over the next few months. Any other pedicab spotters please feel free to catch a pic & post it.:)

Yes, they are just two doors down from the bugbugs base :D. I believe they picked a good spot, as we may end up gaining quite a few of their riders. The pedicab looks quite nice, if some what too high, they are fitted with two seat belts & look to take two passengers. Sadly the braking system is a drum belt & these when wet are not very effective (I had some on a quad cycle).

The riders do say it is very heavy & handles poorly - riders pay around £65 for now & I'm sure the company will increase the rent soon to cover 'expenses' :). Dam my spelling, never been a strong point :(
