This was another thing of interest that I noticed in Paris.
This is a manual/semi automatic (it also has a small motor attached for taking uphills) cycle rickshaw, but with a roof so that you are protected from the sun and the rain. The roof is aero-dyanamic and was easy to ride than a typical Indian Cycle Rickshaw. The pedaling was comfortable too.
We asked the person who was operating this service whether he was a paid employee. He said that the vehicle was given to him by the company, but he is all by himself as the company is not paying any salary to him.
Isn't it time we also have some of theseeco-friendly vehicles?
Hi Raghu
ReplyDeleteThanks for your visit on our blog :)
Did you visit Paris in France ???
Thats great and far from your home :)
Its only 4 ours drive with my car from Dutch to Paris :)
Its a very romantic city,
I love it to be there,
my last visit was in March2009,
we had visit "Disney world" in Paris,
Its FANTASTIC !!
that is a very interesting vehicle - at first i thought it was modeled after the smart car.
ReplyDeleteIt is a simple Cycle rickshaw where the angle of pedaling has been more user friendly. Ant there is a provision for a two stroke engine also. On plain ground, this can be easily driven without much effort as opposed to the typical cycle rickshaws in India.
ReplyDeleteThis is interesting. So much like the auto rickshaws here. Thanks for sharing this.
