“the Tuk Tuk comes equipped with either a 200cc or 650cc version”
Wonder how fast the 650cc version will go? I know these things will carry a load as I have seen the Thai’s pile them up with virtually everthing but an elephant.

It's not really how fast it will go that's important, but how long it takes to accelerate. A 250cc motorcycle can go 60-70 mph, it's just that it would take forever to reach that speed, and it would no reserve power for maneuvering when it did. This makes it dangerous and very uncomfortable on the highways. It would also shake like an old washing machine. Personally, I find even 750cc too small, and wouldn't consider traveling on a modern highway with less than a liter.

The Tuk Tuk has normal city speed abilities. It is designed to stay with traffic, not slow it down. Our 1st testing model for USA achieved a normal speed of 73 mph, pulled Duchman Campers in ELkhart. The Tuk Tuk pulling a camper reached 63 mph while maintaining no loss in mpg.
The America version of the Tuk Tuk is equal to a 1/2 ton truck. SIZE - well all I can say is please visit the website.
