I don't know much about auto riksha other then that they have gears like bajaj scooter. plus whatever you can see from outside

Edit: just checked the specification of BAJAJ Autoriksha out of curiosity, it has only 173cc engine

, I thought that it was 300cc.

You expect a 300cc engine to scream at 50 kmph...

...lol!!!...but they are wonder machines IMO.Only the ones who ride them have given it a bad image

what happens if by mistake you put the reverse gear( 1st gear) while driving

, I feel that their should be a separate clutch or something if you want to put a reverse gear.

As far as I remember, the auto rickshaw guys turn the key in the opposite direction and put the first gear when they want to take reverse.

It is a very convenient idea! I feel the best is to mount a small motor and connect it to the chain or sprocket outside the engine.

Just like the BMWs have a motorised centre stand, a electrically motorised reverse gear will be helpful. That motor may double up as an alternator!!
