electric rickshaw

Battery-powered taxi tricycle

An electric rickshaw is a small three-wheeled passenger vehicle powered by an electric motor and battery, common in South and Southeast Asia as cheap urban transport.

Also called e-rickshaw or tuk-tuk in some regions: We took an electric rickshaw from the train station to the hotel.

They typically carry two to four passengers and operate as taxis or shared transport.
