Etymology

The term 'pedicab' is derived from both 'pedal' and 'cab', where 'pedal' refers to the foot-operated mechanism that powers the vehicle, and 'cab' is a shortened form of 'cabriolet,' a type of carriage. The concept of human-powered taxis has existed for centuries, with origins tracing back to rickshaws in Japan and China in the 19th century. The pedicab as we know it today began to gain popularity in the 1960s and 1970s in various cities around the world as a response to the increasing demand for environmentally friendly transport solutions. Today, pedicabs are commonly used in urban settings for leisure rides, events, and as a sustainable transport option.
