Default Electric Pedicabs to become available to hire in London

Electric on-demand pedicabs will soon be seen on Londons crowded roads
and cycle routes.

The new fleet of power-assisted bikes will be on the roads this month,
with six starting operation on the South Bank from today.

Passengers can summon one of Velubas vehicles using an Uber-style app,
and will pay a £3 booking fee plus £1.25 per mile. The money is then
debited directly from the passengers connected account.

Each passenger pod has seatbelts and USB port, plus three CCTV cameras.

"all the riders vetted and made to take a road proficiency test."

Here in The States, the term I've seen used for a vehicle like that is, "semi-enclosed trike" with various propulsion systems. There are a lot of them powered by a 150cc gasoline/petrol engine. It's an interesting little vehicle. ^_^

Indeed, but I'm not sure if it's a good or bad idea. In theory, it is.
