It is only toy-sized by US standards. By the standards of pretty much any other country in the world, it's a normal-sized vehicle, even a large one. Go read about tuk-tuks. Visit Asia some time.

Vitriol?

Pity for a culture so dependent on a machine I personally dislike: the motor car.

Distaste and disdain for a culture whose example is destroying the world.

I reserve vitriol for more important things.

It's not much bigger than a quad bike. It would just about fit in the back of my Range Rover if I put the seats down.

Tuk-tuks aren't real vehicles either. You can't even make them road-legal in the UK, where the most you need to do is "does it have some sort of brake and some sort of mudguard on all its road wheels, some sort of brake light, and some sort of exhaust silencer?"

I submit that a Range Rover is not a normal-sized vehicle, either.

You had better tell this company quickly, then -- they are already selling them.

So, tuk-tuks very much not like the ones they have in Asia then?

As for the size of vehicles, it kind of depends what you consider normal-sized. What do you think I should get instead?


Tuk-tuks are not used for the same purpose trucks are used for.

I am from a third world country and have seen plenty of trucks on roads and private properties.
