The closest I've done to a pedicab was that in Boston one time, I was the only passenger on a 7 passenger party bike and the driver and I flew down the street.

He didn't run a pedicab service or anything like that, he just used it to haul his family around.
It weighed a ton, but it was a fun ride.

Edit: I just blew up the photo so I could read the name on the downtube. (These old eyes ya know) It says "Main Street."

Good Luck! I hope you at least break after paying the rent to the company that owns the pedicab.
