Everyone is familiar with tricycles. As a means of transportation transformed from bicycles, they can pull goods and carry people, and play an important role in people's daily lives. According to the types of tricycles, they can be roughly divided into human-powered tricycles, electric tricycles, motorized tricycles, battery tricycles, etc. In particular, human-powered tricycles were very popular after the 1930s. Later, with the development of the times, human-powered tricycles were slowly replaced by electric tricycles.
I don’t know if you have studied the human-powered tricycle market. Recently, we have come into contact with more human-powered tricycles. After learning about the industry, I discovered the huge potential of this market.
Maybe many people look down on this industry or people who ride tricycles. This is not the case in Yiwu. Everyone respects human-powered tricycles and electric tricycles. why? Many businesses and factories in Yiwu use human-powered tricycles, which are indispensable for short-distance delivery. Riding a tricycle is a very lucrative job. You can earn tens of thousands of yuan a month casually, as long as you are not afraid of hardship.
In the past few days, because I was entrusted by a Southeast Asian customer to help purchase a container of human-powered tricycles, I had unprecedented close contact with the tricycle manufacturers. It turns out that this market is not as big as we imagined.
In Vietnam alone, human-powered tricycles can be said to occupy one of the main ways of rural transportation and transportation of goods. You can imagine how many people there use tricycles.
So when you are choosing products, you must have a unique vision. Only when you see things that others cannot see will you have a chance.
However, there is still one city in the world that still uses human-powered tricycles as its main means of transportation. There are more than 2 million of them, and locals basically rely on them to travel.
This city known as the "Tricycle Capital" is Dhaka, the capital and largest city of Bangladesh. Bangladesh is located north of the Bay of Bengal and on the delta plain in the northeastern part of the South Asian subcontinent. It is one of the least developed countries in the world and the most populous country with the highest population density in the world. Especially its capital, Dhaka, has a population of over 15 million living in an urban area of only 360 square kilometers. Lagging economic development, high population density, and poor sanitary conditions have made Dhaka one of the poorest, most crowded, and most polluted cities in the world. The harsh living environment there is unbelievable.
Unlike most capitals, the first impression of Dhaka is that it is crowded. Due to the backwardness of the economy, you can hardly see overpasses, high-rise buildings or wide streets on the streets of this city. All you can see is the endless flow of human-powered tricycles. It has also become the largest traffic in the city. It is the most commonly used means of transportation for locals to travel. It is understood that Dhaka has more than 2 million tricycles in total, making it the city with the most human-powered tricycles in the world. They drive on the streets and do not obey traffic rules, making the originally narrow streets more crowded.
In Dhaka, this kind of human-powered tricycle is called "Rikosha" by the locals. Because it is small in size, convenient for short-distance travel, and cheap to ride, it is deeply loved by local people. In addition to their large number, another highlight of Dhaka's human-powered tricycles is that the entire bodies of these tricycles are painted in colorful, colorful and artistic styles. The locals say that this is called poor but also beautiful. Therefore, when you come to Dhaka, you must take a colorful tricycle, but one thing to remind everyone is that because the local roads are too crowded, it is difficult to reach the destination smoothly unless the destination is right in front.
In addition to the large number of tricycles, another major reason why Dhaka's traffic is so congested is that there are only 60 traffic lights in the entire city of Dhaka, and not all of them are working, and the road facilities are backward. Coupled with the low quality of local drivers, pedestrians, cars and tricycles often mix on the streets, causing traffic chaos and frequent accidents. Therefore, if you have the opportunity to go to Dhaka, it is best to choose a local regular taxi. In addition, Bangladesh is a relatively conservative Islamic country. It is recommended that women should not wear too revealing clothing when traveling, pay attention to hygiene, and have some commonly used medicines on hand when going out.
