That's human-powered right? I think i can see the chain there (plus why else have that seating setup if not for pedaling).

Judging by the size of that cargo section it must be pretty hard pedaling all that stuff in the back, assuming it's heavy packages. Seems like a workout. But then again, it's sort of like a rickshaw I guess, so doable? I hope the driver is paid extra accordingly. I assume it also has some gearing system that makes it easier on the legs but extra slow.

If it has an extra electric engine somewhere in there tho, why even have the pedals? Maybe the pedals are just for the empty trip back.

~~Overall I don't hate it~~ (let me rephrase that: I like it!), but I'm not the one pedaling. :D

It has electro assist. Kinda like an ebike I think.
