Yamaha's electric rickshaw goes where no taxies are allowed

Electric rickshaw

What, you act like you've never seen a high-tech rickshaw before! Actually, this is really one of the silliest things we've ever seen—Yamaha or not— given that it's got an electric engine as well as a pedal-pushing cabbie. Why not just eliminate the pedals, eh? Perhaps because then it would be considered a "taxi", and wouldn't be allowed into Tokyo's World Expo area next year. Crazy… like a fox.
