Frequently-Asked Questions and More Information

How far in advance should I reserve?
For immediate local pickup in a pedicab, check the status to see if a driver is available, and call the dispatch line. For a simple vehicle pickup, you should arrange at least 1 day in advance if possible. To make a reservation for a special event with pedicab or vehicles, at least 1 week's advance notice is preferred. For bigger events, or reservations including a bus, one month advance notice is preferred.
Do you allow smoking in your vehicles?
Absolutely no smoking in the cars, vans, and buses.
Can I call a pedicab just like calling a regular cab? What are the differences?
Yes. You can see our status and map, to see if drivers are currently available in the city. For a pickup, just call the dispatch line.

The differences:

  • Our pedicab service is not always available, like a 24-hour cab. We have regular hours of operation, but drivers may be available outside of those hours, so please call for inquiries.
  • We can't go as far as a vehicle. If you're planning to go outside of the city, ask for a vehicle pickup instead.
  • Pedicabs have 3 wheels, and are powered by people.
How many pedicabs do you have?
Currently, there are two pedicabs available. Special arrangements for more may be made, call for inquiries.
Can your pedicab drivers dress formally for my wedding?
Yes! We can arrive in a tuxedo shirt and bowtie, but further arrangements are possible.
What if it rains when I have a pedicab reservation?
If you have reserved an event beforehand, rain cancellation with full refund is available up to 24 hours before the event. Beyond that, cancellation will result in a lost deposit.
Where rates depend on number of passengers, does my small child count as a separate passenger?
No. Small kids ( with adult) are free.
What's a pedicab? What's a bicycle rickshaw?
First off, a pedicab is the same thing as a bicycle rickshaw. We use the terms interchangeably. "Bicycle rickshaw" is an older and more widely-known term, but we like "pedicab" because it's easier and faster to say -- and we have to say it a lot.

It is basicallly a bicycle with three wheels and a passenger seat.

Bicycle rickshaws were in used in China as a traditional and economical means of transportation. The "Original" rickshaw was a wheeled cart pulled by hand, and without a bicycle. ( Think a backwards wheelbarrow. ) They are now booming as a popular means of alternative transportation in crowded cities around the world.

Do you have any veggie-oil (SVO) vehicles available?
No, not on SVO - (Straight Veggie Oil). Most of our fleet is run on Biodiesel, which is diesel fuel produced from veggie oil.
