Pedicab is a cycle introduced in Chromebook Volume 1.

Sourcebook Description

They're everywhere, and they'll take you anywhere. One man pedaling away replaces an expensive motor, and for fuel; he eats. The typical pedicab seats two with a minimum of cargo. The fare is usually 1.5eb. per mile. Heavy people pay extra. Top speed is 25 mph on level ground, down to fifteen if fully loaded. Speed is somewhat higher downhill, but make sure the brakes are working properly before you let the driver coast down a big hill. Pedicab drivers are wonderful sources of information, if properly tipped. And if properly motivated (gunfire usually does the trick), Pedicab drivers can occasionally get up to thirty mph.[3]
Game stats: SDP=15, gunfire has a 75% chance of doing only cosmetic damage as there isn't a lot on a pedicab that can stop a bullet. Or protect the passengers.[3]
In Indonesia there is also a motorized variant of the Pedicab (Becak) called the Bajaj.[1]
