Royal Enfield make better bike taxis

Category: Royal Enfield - Thu Sep 3rd 2009

Enterprising French motorcycle taxi company Taco & ClĂ´ have chosen to use Royal Enfields to transport their customers in preference to the Honda Goldwings more commonly used for that purpose.

According to Claude Crampe, who runs the taxi firm in the Southern French city of Montpelier, his clients enjoy the retro style of the Royal Enfield as they are transported to the beach or airport.

According to Moto magazine, taxi bikes have been successful in France as they cut journey times and customers can be transported door-to-door more easily than by car.
