The motorbikes used for our tours are Changjiang 750cc which are communist replicas of communist replicas (the Russian Ural sidecar) of the 1930′s BMW’s. At the end of WWII, the BMW factory was moved from Eastern Germany to the Ural mountains and the technology was given to the Chinese in 1957 by the Russians as a gesture of friendship. The technology has hardly been modified ever since which makes our bikes unique and the most appropriate machine to discover an old Shanghai, a changing Shanghai, a new Shanghai.

To ensure you a safe ride, our bikes are checked on a weekly basis by our Sideways certified mechanic.
