    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
    It all begins with a thumb-start -- Oh, wait, I forgot the kill-switch

      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.
        Your biking tells a lot about the person you are!

          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!!
