Rickshaws are a popular method of transport in many countries across the world. These often pedal-powered vehicles are especially popular in cities and urban areas that attract crowds of tourists.

But what is a rickshaw? Is a rickshaw a bicycle? and are rickshaws safe to ride?

A rickshaw is used to transport passengers, typically in large cities. Rickshaws are often associated with Asian countries, but rickshaws are used all over the world, usually in downtown urban areas.

In English-speaking countries, cycle rickshaws are often called “pedicabs” and may be decorated for aesthetic reasons or with advertisements.

Rickshaws are used as a method of transportation and are especially popular with tourists as their slower pace is good for sightseeing.

Otherwise, locals can use a rickshaw to travel, however, they’re not normally used for commuting as they’re much slower than a taxi or private car.

Rickshaws come in various styles and layouts and may have an enclosed passenger area or a seat that is exposed to the open air, with a driver in front or behind the passenger seating.

The number of passengers that a rickshaw can carry varies, with some rickshaws carrying a single passenger, and others offering multiple rows of seating.
