A riquimbili in 2009.

Riquimbili are improvised motor-powered bicycles found in Cuba, often using such things as a chainsaw motor and a plastic bottle to hold the gasoline. These improvised motorcycles are illegal but tolerated.[1] Some riquimbili are modified for racing, which is less tolerated by authorities.[2]
