The original becak was stripped down and built back up (almost completely) with new parts; primarily to ensure reliability and safety out on the road. The rebuild took place under the guidance of Micky Chandra, the owner of Technobikes (www.technobikesindo.co.id). To Micky, Andri and the whole team at Technobikes, thank you for your fantastic support.
Becakterus, dong!
