Looks like a "mobile death-trap" to me ! No helmets?
 
Either this was filmed before the earthquake or they now have the trams up and running.
   
 
The Yike Bike . . . Take a look at this, made in Christchurch New Zealand

If they can put that sort of technology into a bike of this size I see no reason why they can't do it for the normal sized pushie, but then who's to say they haven't already!
