Rickshaws might be a familiar sight on the streets of Beijing, but the Olympic city has a few unusual new additions to its fleet during the games.
Mini has created a fleet of Clubman rickshaws, which combine the traditional pedal-powered front end of a rickshaw with the back of Mini's compact estate.
The Mini rickshaws promise passengers a unique experience as they are transported around Beijing.
Passengers will be able to catch a lift in the unique rickshaws in the 'trendy' parts of town like the club district of Hu Tong.
If you can't find one of the Mini rickshaws after a night of clubbing then Beijing's Mini dealership is able to sort you out a ride in one of the unique machines.
Like traditional rickshaws they feature Chinese lucky charms and talismen to ensure your safe progress and release positive energy for the Olympic Games.
The marketing stunt by Mini underlines the importance of the Asian market for the firm, China being one of the fastest growing areas for the carmaker.
