Trishaw – Melaka

This is a trishaw or a pedal cab or a cycle rickshaw or bikecab or cyclo, depending on where you are and what nomenclature is used there. The tern used in Melaka is trishaw and the type of trishaw used here was unique as far as I know. The bike used was a large touring bike and the passenger compartment was decorated with artificial flowers, the more the better. These machines were somewhat unique in that they were not only over-decorated, they also had a compartment for a battery and a serious boom box, the kind that could be heard a block away. These guys rode around blaring out hip-hop, country and western, 60′s rock and, of course, the local Muslim favorites. Needless to say, they were interesting.
