Maybe. I always thought
the idea of cycle lanes etc is to avoid mixing vulnerable vehicles (?) with cars and trucks.

Allowing cyclists into a pedestrian area kind of implies they are small and light enough not to be any significant danger to people walking about, so it would seem to me a relatively large vehicle like that rickshaw wouldn't count. You could certainly say it is vulnerable though, simply because it moves much slower than other traffic.

Having said that, if a copper was happy for you to be there in a rickshaw, they must qualify.

By the way - is it true that some cheeky rickshaw drivers have been caught with electric motors hidden away under the cab?

It's called electric assist
We don't have it here partly because if anyone did, they would be able to undercut the rest of us. I think some of the London rickshaws do, and in Amsterdam too.

There's a story that a London rickshaw cyclist, used to flat roads and electric assist, came up here to work a few years ago. After one night, he quit over the phone from the train back to London.
