Driving Peru's Mototaxis
Meet Peru's transportation oddity, the Mototaxi, a Honda 125 or 150 city bike--or more likely a Chinese copy of one--with two wheels and a couch stuck on where the swingarm should be. Never has something with so little power looked so cool to so many. > Eighteen-year-olds in Mototaxis run the streets in Peru. Fares are settled before the ride; a 5 kilometer trip might cost 3 Sols (about $1).
