Random thought today - How come there are 4 seater, 5 seater, 7 seater, 8 seater cars (and the count goes on and on just by increasing the 'length' of a four-wheeler), but no more than two-seater two-wheelers.
We have seen 1 seater and 2 seater two wheelers being used (in India) for years with more riders than the designed seats. I grew up riding on a gas tank of a Royal Enfield Bullet - So its not that people cannot drive a 2-wheeler with more than 2 people on board, nor I think its an issue of balancing a 2 wheeler with more than 1 pillion rider.
I can understand 'safety' being a concern; but how come in places like India (where it is totally legal to drive with spouse + 2 kids on board) - we haven't yet seen a 2-wheeler maker venture into a three-seater two-wheeler market?
I think it will be a big hit! Specially a two-wheeler with a child-safety-seat!

How would its design be? Like another seat attached at the back? How will you make it safer for kids? As you said, 2-wheelers are not really safe.
ReplyDeletehow is it safer for kids today? (with mom-dad tragging two kids on their laps etc).
DeleteThe Design - just make it a big longer for 3 seats.
