Charleston Rickshaw FAQ

A rickshaw is a bike-powered ride. Your driver pedals a comfortable three-wheeled cycle with a bench seat, taking you wherever you'd like to go downtown. It's open-air, eco-friendly, and a lot more memorable than a car.

They're essentially the same thing, a bike-powered, open-air ride for getting around downtown. "Rickshaw" and "pedicab" are just two names for it. If you need rides for a larger group, our sister service, Charleston Pedicab, can add even more capacity.
