What is a pedicab and how does it work?A pedicab is a shuttle tricycle made to transport people from place to place just like a taxicab. Other names for pedicab are cycle rickshaw, bike taxi, velotaxi, pedicab, bikecab, cyclo, beca, becak, trisikad, tricycle taxi, or trishaw. Pedicabs shouldn't be confused with rickshaws which are pulled by a person on foot. Pedicabs are electric or operated by a person pedaling. Any pedicab operating in NYC is subject to an anual inspection and is required to have insurance. Your safety and satisfaction is always our number one goal. Our pedicab tour guides have passed all inspections and requirements to ensure your safety.
