rickshaw
Rickshaw began as a two or three-wheeled passenger cart, called a pulled rickshaw, generally pulled by one man with one passenger. The first known use of the term was in 1887.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Rickshaw )〕 Over time, cycle rickshaws (also known as pedicabs), auto rickshaws, and electric rickshaws and were invented.
Pulled rickshaws created a popular form of transportation, and a source of employment for male laborers, within Asian cities in the 19th century. Their appearance was related to newly acquired knowledge of ball-bearing systems. Their popularity declined as cars, trains and other forms of transportation became widely available.
Auto rickshaws are becoming more popular in some cities in the 21st century as an alternative to taxis because of their low cost.
==Etymology==
The word ''rickshaw'' originates from the Japanese word ''jinrikisha'' (, ''jin'' = human, ''riki'' = power or force, ''sha'' = vehicle), which literally means "human-powered vehicle".
