My name is Ken Roy from St. Paul MN.
I just finished restoring what I beleive is a 1940's Taipei Taiwan Pedicab/Rickshaw.
Here's a few pictures of it.
If you know anything about these, could you let me know.
Any idea on what they're worth? I may sell it next year.

Wow! Very nice job of restoring your rickshaw, I've just bought a Becak (Indonesian Rickshaw) ;)

Chop!

Here's a close-up & translation from the plaques/signs on my Victory Pedicab/Rickshaw.

Also, here's a picture of it without the cab on it.

Very cool - I wouldn't put that into a commercial application. It would be an excellent parade pedicab, as well as critical mass vehicle, and things like that.
