Motor Scooter – Masters of Transport and Logistics – Number 2

Posted on 06 February 2009 by anthony

This Motor Scooter and family were spotted on the road from Bogur to Jakarta, in Indonesia, in November 2008.

What a good little baby!  If the chaotic traffic is not enough to wake up the little tiger, than nothing will!

This is a common site throughout Asia – most people cannot afford a car, so they usually dump their life savings on a reliable Motor Scooter which is designed to transport the ENTIRE family, plus a few chickens and other assorted livestock if required.

I guess the little kids’ parents act as sufficient padding in the event of a Motor Scooter accident!

Somehow, I don’t think this transport technique would appear in The A-Z of Scooters: The illustrated guide to all makes and models.

    Ya, its pretty ridiculous how many people can actually fit on a scooter. I can remember seeing families of 5 jammed onto little dirtbike scooters from my time in India. Crazy. Thanks for posting this!
