The Rickshaw Run India
The Original All India Flavour
Born on new year’s eve way back in 2006, this absolute behemoth of an adventure has seen legions of fools facing up to the gauntlet of spanning the rather excellent sub-continent in the ubiquitous 3 wheeled rolling turd. Mountains, deserts, bad roads no roads and traffic chaos, crouches like a tiger of disruption to stop you reaching your goal.
It takes about 2 weeks of getting lost and stuck to stumble over the finish line (if you do). During which you will hopefully break down repeatedly and probably topple over. Glorious.
We’ve shuffled the routes over the years from north to south and east to west so find out more about where the legendary adventure is heading hit the More India Details button or cut to the shit and sign up now. Right now.
The Machines
Driving 3000 kilometres up India in a vehicle better suited to the task is pointless. No one can have an adventure like that. Which is why we set about making sure people do it in a 3-wheeled cake tin instead:
Engine: 4 stroke DTSi Engine, Air cooled
Engine Size: 198.88cc
Power: 10.5 HP at 4500 rpm (equiv. 2 family dogs).
Transmission: 4 forward, and a reverse lever so you get 4 backwards. Handy.
Brakes: Hydraulic expanding clown shoe
Fuel Capacity: 8 ltr + some sort of reserve. Just less than you need.
Top Speed: 55kmph ish downhill.
System Voltage: 12V, DC until the battery falls out.
Passenger Seats: 1 bench seat with room for 2 or 14 passengers.
Drivers Seat: 1 seat for up to 3 drivers.
We think you’ll agree this is a superior method of getting yourself across India. More on this glorious adventure machine here.
The Unroute
Like our other adventures, the Rickshaw Run All India follows our ‘unroute’ ethos. We provide the start line and the finish line, but the route in between is up to your team.
This ensures that you stand the best chance of getting lost, stuck and into minor amounts of trouble as you adventure across India before eventually reaching the finish line and realising you are heroic for finding it. If we gave you an itinerary and more than an entirely rudimentary map, you would achieve no such enlightenment.
We suggest you use local folklore, or an outdated map of India to find your way, meaning you’ll tackle entirely impractical back roads, non-roads and questionable shortcuts using nothing but your significantly underpowered rickshaw and your wits.
