Narrow choice for narrow streets

Mykonos town has such narrow streets that drastic measures are needed. This 250 cc Shan Yang motorcycle has been turned into a capacious courier delivery vehicle for the Greek ACS company. This is what passes for a big truck in downtown Mykonos. Leica Monochrom with 35mm Summicron.

Mike,

 

An excellent shot of the local transportation. I would imagine that the delivery cycle gets great gas milage.

I don't know about that. The main consideration is will it fit the Main Street and all the little byways. I tried to check the provenance of his vehicle but couldn't find Shan Yang anywhere.

Lots of reference to Sang Yang but I presume a different country. Here in the Cicladic islands they are still using 60-year-old Italian-made versions of this three-wheeled cart, usually with 50cc two-stroke engines. All the town streets are so narrow than only small vans can get through.

Michael, A link for the ShanYang trikes ... various engine capacities; air cooled and water cooled. I wonder it ShanYang make the engines?

Thanks, Dunk, no I didn't have my iSpy Book. Can't get Ian Allen books in Mykonos! I will bow to your knowledge on this although I could swear it says says SY200ZH-E which, if my motorcycle industry experience is any good, tells me it is a 200 cc version. Probably the same as your tricycle, though.
