In India we normally find rickshaw on the road and we also heard a word regularly “rickshaw wala baiya”, but if we asked about the history and detail of the rickshaw. Most of the people start counting the stars in the daytime. I am being also one of them whom I am talking, but no my curiosity forces me to know about it more. Our common part of life which we prefer to use as transport and comfort, but we don’t know anything about it. It is less funny, but 100% true fact.

History Of Rickshaw -- Rickshaw Oldest Transport Mood In Aisa


Before any Taxi, Auto Rickshaw etc. in Asian countries, there was a public transport system which we are known as pulled cart or rickshaw. People start calling it as pulled cart or rickshaw from 1887. When it was introduced as a public transport vehicle.


Now pedicabs, auto rickshaws and solar rickshaws, electric rickshaw are new terms to call pulled cart. These rickshaws also become the new source of income special by the invention of an auto-rickshaw and electric rickshaw, these vehicles are now used widely over the world.


Here are some oldest photographs of pull cart and rickshaw of Asian countries. 







In the late 19th century, rickshaw is one of the most popular and inexpensive mode of transportation especially in Asian Countries. Those who migrated from villages and rural areas, work as a rickshaw runner "deadliest occupation in East"  in major cities of Asia. 




Electric rickshaw now becomes more popular in the 21st century because the difference in fare between taxi and rickshaw.

Now in the 21st century, electric rickshaw is introduced for giving some relief to rickshaw runner. Now in this high tech world we always discussed about pollution free and Eco friendly vehicles such as in the past we used a manual rickshaw for transport. But according to the need of rapidly increasing population and fast life, old rickshaw get vanishes away somewhere in the past because of ratio of income and effort is unbalanced. To maintain such negative side of the rickshaw. We introduced new rickshaw or you can call it “electric Eco friendly rickshaw”.
