Party in the Front, Business in the Back
Chances are you’ve never seen a rickshaw like this! Normally, they are pulled by a human runner or a seated cyclist and are most common in large metropolitan areas from London to Beijing. This design differs in that the driver is located behind the passengers, giving them a better view for sightseeing. It also features a pedi-assist system that only requires the driver to start the motion with a few pedals forward to kick the electric engine into action. Easier on the driver and still environmental friendly!

If it’s going to be partially powered/electric you might as well slap a solar panel on the top.

It’s called “becak” in my country but well, it’s 100% human-powered

I am not sure if the steering would work like this. It would have to slide the rear wheel sideways across the ground. with the weight of the driver on it and the long lever that would take a lot of power to do. With the motor in the rear wheel and the front wheels spinning separately it would work though.

NIce, but I think the steering hole should be much wider.
