Questions...
 

This bike looks amazing! I have a few questions -- maybe you have answers? 1) how much does this bike cost? 2) what is the weight limit on the child seat? 3) can you put a Shimano Nexus 8 (or other 8-speed) hub on the rear wheel?

Thanks!
Josette

just wanna share one of my mamacharis..

Waica 3 Weeler
 

Just got this Waica 3 wheeler.
Tilting front wheels.
Came with a child carrier but instead replaced it with a quick release basket.

What fascinating bikes. Thanks for bumping the thread. I'm glad to see them.

OK, I have to take pictures in my neighborhood. We have lots of parents carrying kids but not with this style of bike. Some are riding bike cargo bikes. Also, some are riding regular bikes with banana seats installed over the rear wheel. I've seen kids as big as about ten years old riding on them. It's sweet to see parent and child chatting that way, on the way to school. The big, mean city is getting gentler.

Buying mamachari bikes
 

I want to buy this bike. Are you selling it? How much and where to buy these bikes?

hi I want to buy this bike. How can I buy it. How much and where is your location? Thx

Debsqt, this is a discussion forum, not a place to sell bikes. Most people here aren't posting pictures of their bikes to sell. If you really want to try your luck, I suggest sending a PM (personal message) to Sancycles to see if he is willing to part with his bike.

oops sorry I thought this is a buy and sell thread. Yes I tried to pm him but I still can't pm because I just signed in today.

I see about 20 mamachari's outside the window right now. Pretty much everyone rides them in Japan. I see a few hybids and a few road bikes, but the vast majority of commuters are on these bikes.

They're good for getting groceries, but I don't miss mine.
