Every pedicab operation is different. However, they all have things in common: drivers, rent, insurance, regulations, maintenance, seasonal changes, cash flow, storage, advertising, etc.
In your experience, what is the biggest challenge facing your business? How have you tried to overcome this challenge, and how has it worked? How can others reading the blog help you?
This question is mainly for owners and operators, although anyone is welcome to answer.

I run a one man operation. My carriage of choice is Velocab. It looks great. I have been doing since mid october 2007. I am having such a great time. It is the best thing that has ever happen to me. I have not encounter any challenge yet. Just Fun Fun Fun. I am the only one in my town so maybe if someone else showed up one day. Then that would be interesting. Kind of like the only child who all of a sudden has a sibling.
As a owner/opertor, my biggest challenge is making pedicabs a viable business, part of the national and local transportation mix. If pedicabs are operating for a profit they need to be regulated and licensed. Rules are useless unless there is enforcement. It is MY responsibility to make sure "everyone" cooperates.
Im also new to this business, Im owner of three new pedicabs and would like to here from owners and or operators about the business.
Im also the only one in my area that ownes and operates this fabulous business. look for my name, MIDWAY PEDICAB

I recently started a full-service rickshaw business, and I'm the first to enter the market here. The greatest challenge I have is getting the public to take us seriously. I think a lot of people perceive our service as something fun and unique, but there still exists a certain level of apprehensiveness on behalf of the people who leave the office for lunch downtown. Decent market barrier to overcome.
