Tuk Tuks have traditionally been associated with Asia but things are changing. Not only are they attractive but they are also much friendlier to the environment. The increasing number of e-Tuks has made these three wheelers a viable and cheaper alternative than electric cars for customers looking for an environmentally friendly method of transport. Businesses too have tried to tap into the potential these cool little auto-rickshaws with many Tuk Tuks converted into ice cream vans, hot dog stands and coffee vendors. Although still a fringe vehicle these cute little runarounds will become an increasingly frequent sight on British streets.
Tuk Tuks and The Law
Tuk Tuks are classed as three wheelers and can be legally driven on UK roads by drivers who have held a motorbike license for at least 4 years. Before taking to the roads they must also pass an enhanced drivers certificate with the DVLA.
All vehicles must prove to rod-worthy by passing an MOT test.
Vehicles will also need to be insured. See below for a list of providers.
