Rickshaws are pretty awesome vehicles. In the US, most of the people who have a bicycle or motorcycle also have a car. Micro cars are a good middle ground between them in terms of passenger or cargo capacity, but they're usually too expensive. I think Rickshaw-style vehicles could meet that middle ground in the US while also being far more affordable. It's probably difficult to import rickshaws since most of them are manufactured in foreign locales to specs that don't meet import EPA requirements. I wonder if there are any that would meet import requirements or that are manufactured in the US. An electric rickshaw is an interesting idea too. Edit: Maybe the answer is to just get a pedicab and get some battery packs and an electric assist motor.
