"Slim Jim" Rickshaw

Recently completed a modified version of the standard rickshaw for the guys at Wildcat Grips.
They wanted to use it for interior work involving narrow doorways and corridors.
I tweaked the existing design and came up with the “Slim Jim” which is only 2’3″ wide.
It will also take a wider axle for added stability outdoors and can easily be fitted with Balloon Wheels.
