It is a pedal-powered vehicle, with six people pedalling and one driver steering, and travels at a speed roughly equivalent to a brisk walk.

It has the same charm as a food stall, where you can casually chat while eating and drinking at the counter, and it seems like you could even become friends with people you've never met before!

Currently, it is not yet approved for use on public roads, so it can only be ridden at Umi-no-Nakamichi Seaside Park. It's a rare experience!
