A rickshaw is like a small car that is pulled by a person on foot. Imagine you are sitting in a small car with no engine, and in front of you is a person who is running and pulling you along. The person running pulls the car with two long sticks, called handles, and they use their strength to move you forward. Rickshaws are common in some countries where people use them to move around short distances. They are usually covered with a roof, and they can carry one or two passengers.
