    Motorcycle Taxi Services Launched in New York and Los Angeles.

    states the website, Memberships are required to use the service and they range from $125 to $250 with the
    actual service reaching $90 an hour.

    Paying passengers are protected by a full face helmet that is Bluetooth enabled and has
    separate lift action goggles and face plate. They can communicate with the chauffeur easily
    as well as take personal calls. Entertainment comes in the way of personal MP3 players or the
    onboard radio on state of the art speakers and equipment. Also, all weather gear will be
    provided, along with heated seats and arm rests, if the situation requires.

    Further details can be found at the following link.

        The pleasure is when your rear wheel slides, and you bring it back; and when the front wheel lifts, you take your time bringing it back.

            Can reach up to 90$ per hour? This is a joke,considering the size of that three wheeler vehicle, no matter how jammed the traffic is u cant sneak in thru vehicles because it is huge and its USA , u follow rules.. people would rather wait in a chilled car rather then an open "PROTECTED" bike who has a 15 year riding experience. LOL this made my day ! I am still laughing

                ^^ Me tooo ..different girl :P

                We got motorcycle taxis in Goa which makes a lot of sense but having a bike which is as big as a car seems to be an interesting concept albeit a bit flawed.

                  That's motorcycle on rent..
                  They're referring to motorcycles being ridden by their trained riders here, & you can hop a ride on it.

                          they purchased the can-ams and then realized it is not capable of lane splitting.
                          south goa especially near madgao city and station taxi 2 wheelers are famous.the rental and taxi two-wheeler are two different concepts.
                          rental will cost about 150 bucks a day for an activa whereas the latter might cost you the same for about 5kms of travel.but its helpful for single travel as taxis are exorbitantly expensive in goa and buses are over-crowded.

                          i always wondered if the taxi two wheeler system would work in central and south mumbai where rickshaws cant ply and individuals who can afford it have to take taxis adding to the traffic in rush hour and otherwise.
