Here are 2 photos of the pousse-pousse that was made for the famous Galeries Lafayette. They were shot during the Mariage Fair at La Défense on September 13th 2009.

The Galeries Lafayette asked Maison du Mékong to make a unique item, an original Cambodian pousse-pousse. Contrary to the cyclo, it is pulled by a man.
The request was to make something similar to this traditional Chinese pousse-pousse (see below). It was cheaper to adapt the frame of a cyclo rathen than building a whole new frame.

So we hurried and asked our Cambodian producer to quickly produce the pousse-pousse. Here is the result:
