CHINESE URBAN TRANSPORT 1

There is a totally pleasing aspect to life here in Beijing, and that is the almost complete lack of those noisy mopeds which are the delight of European teenagers. None of that roaring along on supercharged mopeds here!

Instead they have electric mopeds.

These come in a wide range of models, from simple electrical bikes to cargo carries and ones such as shown in the picture below. These things whisper along, cant go very fast, and apparently cant be supercharged either, so apart from the real risk of being knocked down by one of these things coming up silently behind one as one dreamily wanders around in Beijing, life is much better without that infernal noise! Showing my age here a bit I suspect, but I truly do hate two stroke mopeds! With a passion.

At intervals I will talk about other idiosyncratic modes of transport here in China, of which there are many, mostly rather fun too.
