Gorgeous Antique Taiwanese Rickshaw for Sale / Borrow / Share / ?

 
 

I picked up this beautiful antique rickshaw a few years back in hopes of restoring & riding it, but I honestly have no room for it & I haven’t had the time to do anything with it.


It is too lovely to sit in my garage gathering dust!  Ideally, I’d find someone in San Francisco who wanted to restore it (& let me borrow it from time to time).  I’d even love to co-own it with someone who could pull that off. But, I’m also up for selling it, sharing it, loaning it or almost any serious offer - it just needs a good home.    If you want to buy it, it cost me $3300, but any offer welcome.


This is a Weichong Victory Pedicab from Taiwan. These pedicabs were built from the 1930s into the 60s and this one could have been built any time in that span.


It needs some love to get it back into riding shape!  The wheels & the drive system need to be repaired.  It could also use a bit of body work & be repainted.  If restored, it would be a beautiful & fun bike to ride in flat areas!
