trishaw

Three-wheeled cycle cab

A trishaw is a three-wheeled vehicle used for transporting passengers, typically pedaled or motorized by a driver.

Common in Southeast Asia, it functions as a taxi or rickshaw: We hired a trishaw to get through the old city.

The design varies—some have the passenger seat in front, others behind or beside the driver.
