The machine of mirth
With a pounding heart of 145.45cc pushing 7hp of raw power to the wheels the Indian Auto Rickshaw is engineering at its... well perhaps not its best. Driving a 'shaw might not be the fastest thing you'll ever do, but by goodness it brings a smile to the face. Loud, uncomfortable, prone to breaking down and completely useless at protecting you from the elements they are possibly the least suitable vehicles for covering the entire sub-continent in 2 weeks. Which is of course the reason they are the only choice to tackle thousands of miles of sweaty jungle heat, dirt tracks, monsoon rains and the Himalayan peaks.
 We have a fleet of rickshaws ready and waiting to whisk you into adventuring bliss from the word go. We bought the beasties brand new and have an extensive repairs schedule after each run. They are now working better than when they came out of the factory, which is not saying much, but fear not they will still break down.
Pimp my Rickshaw and the art of distance pimping
The art of distance-pimping is a bit like distance-learning but without any learning. It involves paint a willing Indian artistic genius, dodgy sketches and a certain amount of enlightenment. By combining the awesome powers of electricity and paint we have created the secretive "Pimp My Rickshaw" section of our website where you can upload your fantasy paint jobs onto the website and try them out on a 3d rickshaw. Then just press go and by the power of magic it all becomes real on your very own rickshaw, albeit a touch wobbly and hand painted.
