I am spending a couple weeks here in China for work. Thought I would give you guys an idea of what the 3-wheelers look like over here.
All of the pictures in the following couple posts are common everyday sights. I took almost all of these in a very short time, while standing on a couple street corners in front of my hotel.
Being a 6-foot tall white guy, I do tend to draw a lot of stares and pointing from children.
Huangdao is like street legal trikefest 24/7. Hope you enjoy it.

Most of these are 110 Lifans. These are everwhere and haul everything. Yesterday, I saw one hauling a living room set (couch, love seat, chair and coffee table - stacked!)

This is what I need for my Big Red - a roof!

Trucks, cars, vans, scooters, bicycles..... it makes no difference.
If you are Chinese, you gotta be on 3
Nice way to haul your baby through heavy traffic, too.

Motorcycles afford many 3-up riding opportunities. They love going 3-up on 90 and 110cc bikes.
Women wear skirts and always ride sidesaddle on the back of motorcycles and bikes.
Whole families (dad, mom, kid) ride 3-up on cycles - didn't get a picture of that today though. There will be more to come as the week goes on.

I just love signs like this one in my hotel.
No shampoo in the shower, just "wash hair milk."
For breakfast "roast bread and fried bowel" (toast and sausage).

Here is the view from out of my hotel room. Makes devil's backbone look like a bunny hill. Haven't seen anyone try it yet, though.

One last question.
Anyone want to guess the purpose of this thing beside my bed?

Most people over there would think your insane going around taking photos of everything you see that has 3 wheels

I wonder how stable that little 3 wheeler truck is.

I thought maybe it was a bathrobe hanger, towel rack, ashtray combo unit.

Me too. I don't see them lean when they go around turns.

They DO have dunes in Mongolia called "the steppe." No wheelers though, only goats and sheep.

I just had dinner at an "American" place. The owner, an American, pulled up on a Shadow 750 replica.... by far the biggest bike in the city. He had to import it from Beijing - many hours away.

Is there any street legal ATCs?

[keister]

I have not seen an ATC, but everything (apparently including tractors and home made jalopies) is street legal here.
