China became infamous for its clones of everyday products, including cars, but the issue is slowly abiding, but in some corners of China cloning a cars exterior appearance is still big business!

The below three wheelers are popular in poorer inland Chinese cities, its been a while since we saw on in a big coastal city. The below trikes come in either electric or engine (2 stroke) form, making them cheap to run, and cheap to fix.

The first red three wheeler is the Prius style one we mentioned previously on CCT.

Can you work out what the other models are based on?

The three wheelers are pretty much like the TATA Nano in many respects, these trikes are a step up from a motorbike, offering slightly more protection in a crash and certainly providing much more comfort than motorbike riding. Although the above motors may be copies of existing cars, they do bring cheap motoring to those who cannot afford to buy the originals, giving families who couldn’t fit 5 to a motorbike the chance to become fully mobile.

The above cars are made by Shandong based, Jin Da Lu.
