1. Rickshaw
A rickshaw is a small vehicle designed to carry one or more passengers and traditionally operated by a person who pulls or pedals it. Modern rickshaws can include pedal-powered cycle rickshaws as well as motorised or electric versions.
Rickshaws are commonly used for short-distance passenger transport, tourism and urban mobility. Their legal classification and the roads or cycle facilities they may use depend on their construction, width, propulsion and national traffic rules.
