The motorcycle express comes from Japanese-Occupied Period. Due to the hot springs, Beitou gathered lots of restaurants and entertainment geisha houses. Taiwanese geishas had to travel to and front several hotels and entertainment geisha houses. In the early stage, they traveled by tricycles and black sedans. In the 1960s, the motorcycles were imported in Taiwan. The motorcycle express soon replaced the tricycles and black sedans. They even helped Taiwanese geishas buy groceries when they were free. Now, the motorcycle express provide services for the local people in Beitou, including picking up the customers, shopping, express delivery, etc.
