  • American tourists admire one of their number riding who has hired a rickshaw in Hong Kong on what is called The Peak. A US tourist sits on the cart that is going to be pulled by its runner. Fellow travellers are taking pictures and smiling at their friend taken away from their group. The word rickshaw came from Asia where they were mainly used as means of transportation for the social elite. In recent times the use of rickshaws has been discouraged or outlawed in many countries due to concern for the welfare of rickshaw workers. Runner-pulled rickshaws have mainly been replaced by cycle rickshaws and auto rickshaws. The term "rickshaw" is today commonly used for those vehicles as well. The word "rickshaw" originates from the Japanese word jinrikisha = human riki = power or force, sha = vehicle which literally means "human-powered vehicle".
