Excerpt: An auto rickshaw or three-wheeler (tuk-tuk, trishaw, auto, rickshaw, autorick, bajaj, rick, tricycle, mototaxi, or baby taxi in popular parlance) is a motor vehicle and a mode of transport for private use and as a vehicle for hire. It is a motorized version of the traditional rickshaw or velotaxi, a small three-wheeled cart operated by a single individual, and is a 3-wheeled cabin cycle. Auto rickshaws can be found in many developing countries. Daihatsu Midget Model DKAAfrican and Indian three-wheelers follow the original design of the Piaggio Ape C, from 1956, which was originally based on the Vespa. In India, Bajaj Auto produced licenses from 1959 to 1974. On the other hand, Auto rickshaws of Southeast Asia started from the knockdown production of Daihatsu Midget. Japan had been exporting three-wheeler to Thailand since 1934. Moreover, The Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications of Japan aided about 20,000 of used three-wheelers to Southeast asia by ODA. In Japan, Three-wheelers had gone out of use in the latter half of the 1960's. And, the use of Human-powered three-wheeler was prohibited in Bangkok. They shared an identity of interests. The word "Rickshaw" originates from the Japanese word "Jinrikisha" (--, -- jin = human, -- riki = power or force, -- sha = vehicle), which literally means "Human-powered vehicle". An auto rickshaw is generally characterized by a sheet-metal body or open frame resting on three wheels, a canvas roof with drop-down sides, a small cabin in the front of the vehicle for the driver (sometimes called an auto-wallah), and seating space for up to three passengers in the rear. They are generally fitted with an air-cooled scooter version of a two-stroke engine, with handlebar controls instead of a steering wheel. There are tuk-tuks in several Kenyan towns. Using them is somewhat cheaper than ordinary taxis. However, tuk-tuks cannot operate in mountainous towns, which are common in Kenya. Fierce competition with Boda-bodas (bicycle taxis) and
