The What?

The Rickshaw Run!

Basically....

My Dad and I are racing Tuk-Tuk down the western coast of India.


This way.
  • Jaisalmer to Cochin (Kochi)
  • 24 Days, of which 14 are on a cart.
  • 1,615 Miles by cart (1,222 miles direct)
It's a long haul, but not too bad right? But wait, what's a Tuk-Tuk?

Yup.

  • Engine: 2 stroke, single cylinder, forced air cooled
  • Power: 7 HP at 5000 rpm  (equiv. 1 family dog)
  • Transmission: 4 forward, 1 reverse
  • Fuel Capacity: 8 ltr + 1.4 reserve
  • Top Speed: 55kmph (downhill)
  • Engine Size: 145.45cc
  • System Voltage: 12V , DC

I fly out for the first leg of this ridiculous thing tomorrow, 2/25. Boston to Amsterdam.

I even packed a bag!


2 bags, one mostly has snacks.
I'm nowhere near ready. But that's half the fun.

Cheers!
