A rickshaw is a small, lightweight vehicle commonly found in many Asian countries. It is typically pulled by a person or powered by a bicycle or motor. Rickshaws are popular for short-distance travel due to their maneuverability and ability to navigate crowded streets. They often have a canopy to protect passengers from the sun and rain. There are different types of rickshaws, including the traditional cycle rickshaw and the motorized auto rickshaw. Auto rickshaws, also known as tuk-tuks, are especially popular in urban areas for their speed and efficiency. Rickshaws provide an affordable transportation option for locals and tourists alike.
