How to become a Colorado Rickshaw driver

Chris with pedal cab passengers at the Denver Broncos gameAll Colorado Rickshaws feature the best equipment available for safety and comfort including running lights, safety belts, and canopies. We lease bike taxis to qualified, licensed and trained independent drivers on a daily or monthly basis.

Rates
Rental rates range from $250 - $400 per month, or $25 - $75 per day, depending on the event, season or circumstances.

Fares
Passenger fares average $1.50 to $2.00 per block for two people. Some nights are busier than others; that's part of the unpredictability of driving pedicabs. New drivers will find that other, more experienced rickshaw drivers can suggest ways to "sell the ride" and increase income.

Requirements

  • You must be 21 years old or older. Occasional exceptions may be made for drivers 18-20.
  • Possess a current valid Colorado Driver's License.
  • Have a clean driving record - no violations for DUI or DWAI.
  • Become licensed by the City of Denver (includes a background check).
  • Reside in the Denver-Boulder metro area or within commuting distance.
  • Attend a 2-3 hour Pedicab Driver Training and Orientation.
  • Speak English well enough to communicate effectively with passengers.
  • Be comfortable riding a bicycle and have some basic bicycle maintenance skills. (Can you change a flat?)
  • International Drivers must fulfill all the regular requirements to become a pedicab driver plus have all the documentation necessary for work in the United States.

The Process

  1. Contact us to interview with the manager to determine fit.
  2. Attend a New Driver Training and Orientation class.
  3. Get your Pedal Cab Driver's License from the City of Denver.
  4. Schedule an on-street training session with the manager. You must complete your training shift within one month of completing your orientation class.

Costs

  • Pedal Cab Driver's License: $57.00 (includes instant background check); annual renewal is $25
  • Denver Pedal Cab Alliance Membership : $10.00 per month
  • On-Street Training: first $35 earned is given to your trainer

What makes a successful pedicab driver?

What I like about driving a pedicab!

If this sounds like a good fit for you, text your name, phone number and email address to 720 629 2599, or contact us by phone or e-mail to request an interview and a spot in the next training class, and get on the road to a fun, adventurous, and often profitable activity. It's pretty cool to make money while you're having fun and working out, and showing others a good time.
