With a fuel capacity of over 32 liters, the trike is ready for long-distance adventures, supported by an efficient fuel consumption rate of 8.55 liters per 100 km. Available in vivid color options, including blue, red, and orange, the BHC-9 is designed not only to perform but to turn heads at every corner. **
