Ananova:

A rickshaw made out of a Mini Cooper has been turning heads on the streets of Beijing.

The tricycle, dubbed 'The Other Rickshaw', was designed and produced by BMW, according to the Legal Evening Post.

Chen De Bao Company, a licensed BMW agent, said it was the only rickshaw in the world of its type.

It has the original rear half of a Mini car body and is equipped with safety belts. It features four gold-plated dragons and other Chinese decorations.

The driver, Song, says the rickshaw is rather heavy and requires a lot of effort to make it run.

"It's actually a bicycle pulling a two-wheeled car body," he said.

The rickshaw is currently in the repair shop after a minor bump: "It should be fixed by this weekend," said a spokeswoman for the Chen De Bao Company.
