My electric three-wheeled freight vehicle and I are well-known “cheerful partners” in the streets and alleys. If we were to write down all the interesting stories we’ve experienced together, we could compile a “Joyful History of Electric Three-wheeled Freight Transportation” that would make people burst out laughing.
This electric three-wheeled freight vehicle has a very likable appearance. The body is small and delicate, yet it exudes an unyielding spirit. The cargo box is square and regular, just like a treasure chest ready to “show its prowess” at any moment. Every time I mount it, I instantly feel like a heroic warrior about to go to battle, although in reality, I’m just delivering goods to various corners of the city. Once, I parked at the school gate waiting for the customer to pick up the goods. A group of primary school students, like little ducks attracted by something, surrounded the vehicle tightly. A little boy wearing glasses, full of curiosity, shouted loudly, “Wow, uncle, is this the freight version of the super mini Transformer?” When I heard that, I almost burst out laughing. Ever since then, when I look at my vehicle again, hey, it really does have a bit of the shadow of a Transformer.
When starting up, it’s like a cheerful elf, making a “buzz buzz buzz” sound. Compared with the deafening “roar” of those large trucks when they start, it’s as gentle as a soft whisper. Once, when waiting for the green light at a busy market intersection, there was a huge heavy-duty truck parked beside me. When it started, the momentum was so great that I felt the ground was about to crack. Then I looked at my little electric tricycle, which was as quiet as a docile little sheep. As soon as the green light came on, I gently turned the throttle, and my “street freight prodigy” instantly shot out like an arrow leaving the bow, nimbly shuttling through the traffic and leaving the heavy-duty truck far behind. The driver of the heavy-duty truck was probably so stunned that his jaw dropped, and he must have been thinking in his heart, “Where did this little thing get so much energy, and it can run so quietly?” At that moment, I felt as if I was driving a supercar, freely galloping on the street track, and my pride was almost overflowing.
However, this cute little thing will occasionally throw a tantrum. Once, when delivering goods to the suburbs, I loaded a full truck of daily necessities. While driving halfway, the vehicle suddenly seemed to be under a freezing spell and wouldn’t move no matter what. I was so anxious that I was sweating all over. I quickly got out of the car and checked the vehicle front and back, inside and out. I was so out of breath from exhaustion, but I still couldn’t find the problem. Just when I was in a complete mess, an old man passing by walked over slowly, circled around the vehicle a few times, and said with a smile, “Young man, is your treasure ‘famished’? It’s time to charge it.” I slapped my head. Oh dear, I was so focused on getting to my destination that I completely forgot about charging. I smiled awkwardly and quickly borrowed electricity from a nearby farmer to charge it. After it was fully charged, the vehicle immediately started running cheerfully again, as if saying proudly, “Hmph, let’s see if you dare to forget me in the future!”
Its cargo-carrying capacity is even more astonishing. Despite the fact that the cargo box is not large, when it comes to loading goods, it’s like a bottomless pit. Once, when helping a friend move, there was a pile of furniture and sundries stacked up like a hill. I originally thought I would have to make several trips. As a result, with my “magical stacking technique”, by twisting and turning, stuffing things here and there, I actually managed to fit all the items into the cargo box. My friend stood beside me, gaping in astonishment, and couldn’t help exclaiming, “Your vehicle is amazing! It’s simply Doraemon’s pocket. It can hold anything!” As I drove the vehicle loaded with goods on the road, I felt like an all-powerful super porter, carrying a full load of daily necessities and heading towards various destinations.
The days spent with my electric three-wheeled freight vehicle are full of laughter and unexpected surprises. Although it doesn’t have a luxurious appearance or high-end configurations, in my heart, it is the most capable and lovely partner. It accompanies me as I move forward with a “buzz buzz buzz” sound on the road of life. Who knows, maybe someday it will create even more hilarious stories that will make people laugh until they shed tears!
