One of a kind
Our insiders are long-term expats working as architects, designers or science teachers. On their free time, they take the handle bar to lead you to remote and unfrequented places they love via small paths and winding detours in this region they know like the palm of their hand. They are seasoned drivers and very agile in the road traffic of China and Morocco. Speaking French, English, Spanish, Arabic or Chinese, specialized in good restaurants or shopping addresses, they are happy to go the extra mile for you.
Our first and endless love was the Chang Jiang 750 sidecar, one of the first mass-produced vehicles in China, and the Beijing Jeep 212, a trusty road companion. In contemporary China, they are considered dinosaurs, reminiscent of a troubled and eventful past, but for us they are part of China’s incredible story. On the other side of the world, in Marrakech, the police of the Medina was also using sidecars in the 1950’s. It was then a natural move to launch operations there with Ural sidecars.
