Well, well... "Search found 7 matches: +rickshaw".
Only 7 "hits" in the whole EG (Ebikers Gospel)??? (And five of them mine???)
Perhaps I didn't search for the right word or words...
The reason why I ask is I find myself needing to find some new source of income...
My desired are:
1) EVerybuddy have fun.
2) Make money (obviously. It's fun giving it away.)
3) Promote the electramaterrific thingee (the "electric bicycle").
4) Employ young folks (`cause they still like fun, making money, plus their brains maybe are more "curious" - if their parents haven't got to them first.)
So here's my thought...
Employ youth riding electric bicycles to take money from the rich.
(Sorry, should have said "tourists" plus others.)
... by offering rides in a "rickshaw" style two-wheeled thingee coupled to the ebike (not the rider) in areas that attract that species of animals (eg around a harbour, etc.) Basically no where with "too steep" hills (up or down). For safety reasons.
I have already tracked down and spoken with one area bicycle/trailer builder. He agreed it's no big step to add comfy seating onto a back trailer. A safety "seat belt" too of course.
I am aware there are one or more businesses already offering "rickshaw" rides, but AFAIK these folks all use "Cheezy-style" heavy etrikes made in China.
Watt I want is a more-or-less "normal" ebike, that can be de-coupled from said "rickshaw" (big comfy seat for 2-3, umbrella, cigar holder, bell folks can ring, by cord or electrically, etc. - the rickshaw, not the bike, silly!).
So, anybuddy on Alt. Reality Planet ES got any ideas on this approach to make maybe lots of money?
Cheers
