The Magic Of the Tricycles

Regardless the fact that there are much more cars in Beijing than people in whole Finland, they are not the best possible vehicle in here. Scooter, bicycles and especially tricycles are playing the very important role of people’s daily transportation, for example when moving along small Hutong alleys.

Tricycles are the best because they provide more axel weight so they can be used for basically for whatever. Almost all tricycles bikes etc. are motorized so it makes moving around lighter.

Based on my empirical research (=eye observation), I noticed that there are three main categories on tricycles, divided by the main purposes of use.

First of all there are models that are suitable for transporting goods / parcels etc. Some of them are officially marked by enterprises logos but then there are all kind of variations so people can move anything from construction materials to their daily shopping products with their tricycles.

Second and third models are both for transporting people. As China is known to be quite hierarchical society where That is the reason  why there have to be separated categorized models for people. 

Second model is meant for rich and royal people because of its design, so with this one you can imagine to be an emperor or empresses in China.  

Third model is for common people, but notice that it is planned for every possible weather conditions. A feature which is not available in royal model so my guess is that after all common people are just more clever that royal people. :D
