Hope this will help

I have one coupled to a jacuzzi. I use it every day too. And it's really great when my children and grandchildren are visiting us.

How many km is that and is that a Taxi or Tuk Tuk?

I haven't been in a Tuk Tuk in HH for a few years as they overcharge and I can just call my Taxi.
