Kei te piki haere tonu te rongonui o ngā waka hiko i te Hononga o Amerika, engari he iti noa iho te wāhanga o ngā hokonga waka hou katoa. Heoi, kei te kite ētahi atu whenua i te tipu nui o ngā hokonga waka hiko. Engari ehara ēnei i te waka hiko. He maha o ēnei he rickshaw, he waka wira-toru e ahu mai ana i ngā pahikara me ngā motopaika he huarahi rongonui mō te kawe waka i roto i te maha o ngā whenua Āhia.
E ai ki te The Atlantic, kua tino piki haere te maha o ngā e-rickshaw i ngā tiriti i ngā tau kua taha ake nei. Hei tauira, e ai ki ngā pūrongo, ko te haurua o ngā e-rickshaw e hokona ana i Inia he hiko. I taua wā, ko ngā waka hiko mō ngā pāhihi he 5.8% noa iho o ngā hokonga waka o Amerika. Heoi, ko te mea whakamīharo ake, ko te pikinga o ngā e-rickshaw kāore i te akiakihia e ngā kaihanga motuka, e ngā kāwanatanga rānei.
I roto i te tuhinga, i te tekau mā rima tau ki muri, i te wā i iti ai te utu o ngā pākahiko waikawa-mata, ka tīmata ngā taraiwa rickshaw ki te rapu huarahi hiko mō ā rātou waka. Nā tēnei kua maha ngā toa motuhake hinonga e kawemai ana i ngā wāhanga mai i Haina, ā, kua hanga i ā rātou ake rickshaw hiko hei hoko i aua wāhanga i ngā utu iti. I te mutunga, ka whai ngā kaihanga waka i te tauira, ā, ka tīmata ki te tuku i ā rātou ake putanga, tae atu ki te Mahindra e-Alfa, he rickshaw hiko e hanga ana i te rua hōihopa, ā, he iti iho i te $1,800 te utu.
He mea nui te pikinga ake o ngā e-rickshaw i ngā whenua pēnei i a Īnia, he take nui te parahanga o te hau. I kitea i roto i tētahi rangahau i Pakitāne, ka taea e ia e toru wira hiko te whakaora i te toru ki te ono tāne o ngā tukunga hauhā waro ia tau, he rite tonu ki te tukunga ā-tau o tētahi motuka noa i te United States. Nā te mea ahakoa he nui ake te ohanga o ngā e-rickshaw i ngā motuka rahi-waenga hei waka whānau, he maha ngā wā ka taraiwahia i te rā katoa, kaua e tū ki te taha o te rori. Nō reira, he nui te kaha o te huri ki ngā e-rickshaw, ā, ka nui te pānga ki te horoi i te hau.
