The World’s First Electric Rickshaw

Rickshaws are a pretty green form of urban transportation, relying on nothing more than good old human energy. But, of course, pulling them is a lot of work. So a Japanese company has created what it’s describing as the world’s first electric rickshaw — and it’s completely human power free.

It’s called the Meguru, and has a design that makes it look like a motorcycle with a small cabin placed on top. The engine is completely electric, allowing for a range of 40 kilometers and a top speed of 40 kilometers per hour. It’s also available to purchase right now for ¥100,000, or, around $1,200 USD.
