What is a "rickshaw"?
A rickshaw is a small, two-wheeled cart pulled by a person, typically used for transporting passengers. The driver either walks, runs, or cycles while pulling the cart, which can carry one or two people. Rickshaws originated in Asia, especially in Japan and China, and were widely used in cities for short-distance travel. The design is simple, with a seat for passengers, and it offers a more personal, slower mode of transport compared to motorized vehicles. Rickshaws are still used in some parts of the world today, often for tourism or in areas with heavy traffic.
Example

The rickshaw driver expertly maneuvered through the narrow alleys, avoiding traffic and pedestrians.
