cycle rickshaw

Human-powered cab

A cycle rickshaw is a small passenger vehicle powered by a person pedaling a bicycle mechanism, with seating for one or two riders behind or in front of the driver.

Common in South and Southeast Asian cities as affordable short-distance transport: We took a cycle rickshaw through the old quarter.

Also called a pedicab or bike taxi.
