A fleet of Thai-inspired tuk tuks brought "a smile to people's faces" when they arrived at the Albert Dock nearly seven years ago.
Royal Navy veterans Tony and Jaimie Smith weren't the first to try bringing tuk tuks to the streets of Liverpool. Taxi driver Colin Huskisson set up Merseytuk in 2008 to ferry passengers around the city in his own six-seat auto rickshaw.
But the Smiths, whose appearance on Dragon's Den has been watched 658,000 times on YouTube, set their sights on a tuk tuk empire.
